I am about to transcribe a bunch of older Western folk music in lead
sheet form for an open source tunebook.
Nice to hear that!
Am trying to create a robust template so I don't have to think too
much about anything other than getting the notes, chords, and lyrics
right. You can see it below, or rendered by the invaluable Lilybin at
http://lilybin.com/u6p5m8/8.
Can you tell me what's bad about this as a template? The lead sheets
will contain chord names and guitar fretboard diagrams. Added a
crucial (for me) section overriding the predefined guitar fretboard
diagram for a chord. I also took too long to figure out how to get
pickup notes in a format that seemed natural.
Thanks!

Before starting, how about upgrading? LilyPond 2.18 is
8 years old, there have been many improvements in the
meantime, and if you ask for help on the lists, people
will be testing snippets in their replies with newer
versions.
