I think I'll have to take another look at Sly. My previous concern was for
the final width of the source - 700 measures x 19 "voices" (including
lyrics, chords, etc) and a lot of fine tuning manipulation ... a typical
'line' for 1 measure would run about 450 characters wide

Reasonably certain this is a lilypond-book feature ... recompiles only
those items it determines are changed. (my guess only).

There seem to be two completely separate situations here that, under some
circumstances, may have similar appearances: one for the multiple
scale/transpose/"block of notes" issue and the other on using multiple
"score block" in a lilypond-book file.
For the first, in my oinion this should be in one score block anyway,
using Lilypond's native sequential '{}' & simultaneous '<>' capability. So
effectively the scale issue could be handles with \notes { { \scale } {
\transpose g \scale } , etc. In many cases the {} could be left out unless
there were embedded simultaneous sequences (especially with ignored skips
at the end) that needed to be kept in step. I have run into a number of
examples of this.
For the second, the following may be an answer - The piece I had actually
ended up with about 25 to 30 score blocks in the same lilypond-book .tex
source file, and that worked well. The trick was to separate each with
\begin{lilypond}- \end{lilypond}and then each new score automatically
started a new line but not a new page. The pain is needing to redo all the
pre- score block stuff (mainly includes in my case, so insignificant pain!)
A secondary benefit - each score block has it's own .ly/tex file & only the
.ly/tex file for the score block being edited was recompiled. Therefore
the total time to recompile was roughly the same as ly2dvi for a specific
block, with all the advantages of lilypond-book.
