This is rather awkward: all the commands refer to LilyPond-command-menu,
and LilyPond-command-menu evaluates the value of
LilyPond-lilypond-command when first loaded but not afterwards.  So any
subsequent change or customization is ignored until Emacs is restarted,
but directory locals are applied when a mode is loaded and consequently
will always come too late.  I'll take a look at the code and try fixing
it.  Since the code was lifted from a very early version of AUCTeX,
making it work like AUCTeX should likely do the trick.
