Yes, that won't work.

If you want to use the output in that way, I'm not going to discourage
you, although you should be aware that any cross-references from other
HTML files generated by Texinfo won't work. If Lilypond has more than
one Texinfo manual, then there is also the problem of how to transform
inter-manual references for Lilypond manuals only, while leaving any
cross-references to non-Lilypond manuals intact.

There is probably something you can do with an init file, maybe by
replacing/wrapping _convert_heading_command as the handler for @node.

handlers" could be used, like "init".

Perhaps there could be a hook for customizing filenames for nodes that
init files could use.
