I recently faced this as well, but ended up using the equivalent of prefixes on the variables, which made sense for my use case. You can see what I came up with here: http://clairnote.org/sheet-music/#180-fiddle-tunes (There's a standard notation version of the ly files linked from there as well.) In order to make it easy to produce versions in different clefs and for transposed instruments I wrote a music function that produced the score for each tune, passing it four arguments: title, composer, melody, and chords. The melodies and chords were stored in variables in include files, one file for each tune (with a score block commented out for editing individual tunes). The layout is arranged using bookparts (one per page), calling the score-generating function for each tune from within the bookparts. It sounds like Urs or Jan-Peter's approaches may be more what you're after in terms of variable names though.
