Wouldn't it be possible to even run this from within LilyPond itself? It 
should be possible to run external code from a Scheme function, isn't 
it? Then it should also be possible to make that run upon compilation. 
No idea how to approach that, though.

Yes, I also think you should be able to access the outer world of shell 
processes through Python that way.
This wouldn't give you a menu entry (although you *could* even do that 
for your own copy if you run Frescobaldi from its Git repository) but 
you can assign a keyboard shortcut to a snippet.
