Actually it was easy, and I remember to have that problem reported  
when I enhanced the LilyPond module:

It says the following with *-1.tmp for every song, i.e. the counter  
doesn't work in the Ruby version:
"""
TeXUtil | running texmfstart --ifchanged=prd_winternacht- 
lilypond-1.tmp --exec bin:lilypond -b eps -dno-gs-load-fonts - 
dinclude-eps-fonts prd_winternacht-lilypond-1.tmp
"""

In the module it's defined as:
"""
\global\advance\lily!figures\plusone
\edef\lily!filename{\bufferprefix lilypond-\the\lily!figures}
...
\edef\LP{texmfstart --ifchanged=\lily!filename.tmp --exec  
bin:lilypond -b eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts \lily! 
filename.tmp}
"""

I still don't understand a lot of TeX programming, so I've no clue.
