I have incipits in a lot of my editions. For years I struggled to put
them into the same score as the part they went with, and then
struggled again to update them when I the lilypond version changed.
Now I have a separate lilypond file (cantus-incipit.ly is the incipit
for cantus.ly) and so I don't need to deal with printing new clefs and
key signatures and making the bar numbers come out right.
You can see examples of what I do in any of my Dowland pieces:
