Alexander, Thank you very much! It may be unconventional, but I think it looks perfectly respectable and very useful -- maybe I should add for tablature?
Others, Those of you who do not know Lilypond and who might like to use Alexander's template, all you have to do is change the notes stored in the variables I,...,IV. The notation used is the relative notation. The note immediately after the \relative declaration specifies the absolute pitch. Subsequent notes are by default chosen to be the nearest ones, up or down, i.e., c g means go down from whichever c you are at to the nearest g below. If you want to go up by a fifth you would have to write c g'; to deviate from the default in the downward direction, you append a comma instead of a prime. This convention works well most of the time or otherwise produces interesting errors. Lilypond provides no WYSIWIG without the information of how you got what you get, but instead it is an unambiguous, self-documenting road map to WYWIWYG, What You Want Is What You Get, at least if that's what you want.
