As far as I understand, the \geometry command should only
be used in the document preamble also in pure LaTeX 
documents. I tried a modified version of your example
without the lilypondfile commands and I got the same
line width both before and after the \geometry{landscape}
commands and no rotation of the output. The lscape package, 
on the other hand, provides an landscape environment which 
probably does what you want. 
I think this was discussed on this list some months ago, but
I don't remember the conclusions. Anyway it seems that 
lilypond-book doesn't support \begin{landscape}...\end{\landscape}
at the moment.
