Well, you could store all tunes in variables, which you keep in one static file, and then write a perl script that generates a main .ly file, which includes the static file, and then generates a score by dereferencing the variables one or more times, depending on command-line parameters to the perl script. Wouldn't that be enough? -- Erik _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
