Is het possible to do this kind of tests in the current lilypond regression

Jaap,
I don't have a comprehensive knowledge of LilyPond's tests, but I have worked
on some of the infrastructure recently, so maybe I can help you.
As far as I am aware the 'tests' that LilyPond runs are basically using
itself to compile the tests in the regression during test-baseline (and
of course when you make doc) and then doing the same thing again when
running make check except you get a visual difference by comparing png
outputs between the two.
This is why you need a human to check any obviously poor differences
rather than some minor adjustment because of, say, some spacing change.
With xml we don't such visual tests so I think that only the fact that
they get compiled without complaint during test-baseline and check is
enough.
At least that is how I understand it.
