Is there any way to write some kind of the equivalent to the latex

If so, is there any INCLUDEPATH I can set, so I do not need to copy it
for each music I use?

Put this function in a standard .ly file (some prefer to name these
include files .ily) and include it.
You can run lilypond with the -dinclude option and specify includepaths
where you can store your library.

Yes, I can also use -I, it seems. But defining an environment
variable would make it a lot cleaner  :)
Can you make an alias?

I guess it's possible in bash (don't know about your system):
alias lilypond='lilypond -Ifoo.lyi'

However, i have prepared some "templates" for myself; every one contains
`\include "macro.lyi"` within. I'd say it's better that making an alias.


Note that -I is for search path, for not a specific file. So, I can add, indeed,

alias lilypond='lilypond -I$HOME/lib/lilypond'

but I would still prefer,

export LILY_PATH=$HOME/lib/lilypond

:)
