Yes, using guile you can download the file to /tmp for example and then include that. Like this:
#(remote-include "http://www.whatnote.com/style.ly"; "/tmp/whatnote-style.ly") \include "/tmp/whatnote-style.ly" For implementing remote-include a call to wget could be enough: #(define remote-include (lambda (remote-file local-file) (system* "wget" remote-file local-file) ))) Perhaps wget needs other parametrization.
