Since your question already got answered directly, I hope I can add a
piece of advice without sounding too destructive:
Don't do it. Redefining standard commands just to save typing is a
terrible idea.
This comes from experience not specific to LilyPond only. I still
"fondly" remember the times when I had to work with LaTeX files prepared
by wise guys who thought it was a brilliant idea to redefine those pesky
\begin{equation} and \end{equation} commands to \be and \ee. Besides
forcing me to get used to their nonstandard style and being, IMO,
considerably harder to read, this completely outsmarted syntax
highlighting and preview generation in my editor.
Apropos outsmarting tools: with LilyPond source code in particular, you
risk doing that to convert-ly, which works with textual substitutions.
For example, I am thinking of the relatively recent \times -> \tuplet
transition: while your code would not have broken with a redefinition as
above in place, you would have cut the way to getting updated to more
modern syntax.
The effects on collaboration with other humans matter more, however. You
might not consider this relevant if you are currently the only one
reading and writing your code, yet, again from experience: one, you
never know, some collaboration may come along sooner that you expect;
two, you may want to ask questions or report bugs on these mailing
lists, which also involves presenting parts of your code to others; and
finally, three: you become a stranger to your own code faster than you
think. Say your priorities shift, you don't work with LilyPond for two
or three years; getting used to the syntax again will then be tedious
enough without having to relearn an additional layer of indirection you
piled up on top of it.
To save typing, I suggest using the capabilities of your editor. Many of
those allow to define keyboard shortcuts or provide other mechanisms for
inserting commonly used pieces of text conveniently. If nothing else is
available, you can still enter a short placeholder string while typing
and then use search-and-replace before you compile.

It depends. Especially \tuplet is awfully long, and it makes scores
with a lot of triplets extremely hard to read.

This is avoidable. If you write
T = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
#{ \tuplet 3/2 $music #} )
convert-ly will handle it for you, too.

There's still the legibility issue, which I consider more important.
However, I know that many people think differently :-)

Intuitive is a keyword here: both notations you suggest will be
difficult to type for most – the first one isn’t even supported by some
good fonts I just tried. Second, it represents an infix notation, which
is deprecated. Plus, \tuplet is a music function and a syntax like {
c8\{ a f\} } (as an example for postfix syntax) would be difficult in
technical terms, I think. But to be available as default, it should be
in some way characteristic of a tuplet, which is difficult to achieve
using such short identifiers.
On the grounds of snippets or stylesheets, it’s of course well possible
to use something like
%%
\version "2.19.17"
"\\*" = #(define-music-function (parser location mus) (ly:music?)
#{ \tuplet 3/2 4 $mus #})
\relative { \* { c'8 d e f g16 a b8 } c2 }
%%
But I think such a solution isn’t really appropriate for the codebase,
isn’t it? It would contradict general custom.

I think there is a way using \scaleDurations and LilyPond's beam

Scaling Scores
Dear List,
I apologize if this is a total newbie question, but I am struggling with
scaling scores. Sometimes I want really big music to put on presentation
slides. Other times I want to fit a lot of music on one page. Doing
something like:
\layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 40) }
within a score block produces freakishly big notes but doesn't scale the
actual staff accordingly. Likewise,
\layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 5) }
produces freakishly small notes but again doesn't scale the staff to
match. What is the best way to scale the music so that all elements remain
in a pleasing proportion?
Thank you,
Pete H.

That's pretty awesome. Unfortunately it doesn't behave like I'd expect by
default. Here's an example:
\version "2.19.15"
\include "auto-transpose.ily"
music = \relative c'
{
\transposition f
c1 |
}
\score
{
\new Staff \with { \autoTranspose } \music
}
Playing a middle C with an F transposition I'd expect the output to be a
fifth down instead it results in a fifth up. There are two variable which
control this: 'music-concert-pitch' - is the music entered in concert
pitch, and 'print-concert-pitch' - should the output music be concert pitch
(as opposed to the transposition pitch). By default it's set to the music
being entered in concert pitch and to output the music in the transposed
pitch. This is the opposite of what lilypond's 'transposition' means.
Switching these around works great, but the default seems wrong.
Anyway, this is a _very_ useful function. Functionality like this should be
part of liliypond itself. Thanks.

Lilyjazz from a blind user
Hello everyone, I am attempting to use lilypond to write jazz charts for a small jazz combo, and possibly a jazz trombone ensemble. I downloaded and installed the lilyjazz fonts from fonts.openlilylib.org. My question is pertaining to the sample PDF documents that came with the zip file. Is there a way I could get the lilypond source files that these documents derived from? If that is not available, I really just want to know the proper way of notating cords/changes. I read the section in the notation reference about court names, however, how does one for example write "A13 sharp 11"?

You can make lilypond generate eps's for each systems, which you then
can \includegraphics into the tex file.
I do that by using
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"
and
$(LP) --ps -dbackend=eps $<
For a I.ly, it will generate I-xx.eps (where xx is numbers 1..,
one for each system) and I-systems.tex, which contains the needed
\includedgraphics commands, Then I simply \input{I-systems.tex} in
my latex file.
Have a look at

The above is basically a manually run lilypond-book thing.

Re: Scaling Scores
Using version 2.18.2, I found that "#(set-global-staff-size 10)" inserted
at the book level scales everything on the page nicely. Ditto for a big
size like 40. But "\score{ … \layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 10) } }"
has unpredictable results. The documentation at
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation-big-page#setting-the-staff-size
doesn't make a distinction. I hadn't thought to try them both. Thanks for
the suggestion, Harm.

I'm guessing that lilypond-book just ignores the tabular environment as a whole. Anyone have a workaround for using lilypond-book? otherwise I'll revert to my initial thought: running lilypond (to produce the snippets) and latex (to produce the doc) separately. Have a look at Lyx. Support for lilypond-book is mentioned here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20#lb, and there is a sample lyx document with lilypond code that is installed in the examples folder when you install Lyx. Alternatively, with Scribus you can certainly have Lilypond code in a frame in a table, as I've done that in the past, but Scribus doesn't use LaTeX - though you can embed LaTeX code in a Scribus frame.

align text with rests horizontally
I'm trying to put text below rests to indicate what to do for the next note. I tried 2 ways to align text with rests but the text is not aligned horizontally. Any other way to try?

Re: Using lilypond examples in an essay or text document
Org-mode is a pretty remarkable way to do this. You can embed LilyPond source
code directly into the document's markup. Then, when you export to LaTeX, it
can compile the LP snippets automatically and insert them into the result.
begin sample org file
#+PROPERTY: header-args:lilypond :prologue \header{tagline=##f}
#+TITLE: Org-mode, LaTeX, LilyPond
#+DATE: <2015-04-05 Sun>
#+AUTHOR: James Harkins
#+LATEX_CLASS: article
#+DATE: \today
If you're into What You See Is What You Mean, org-mode supports LilyPond code
blocks:
#+BEGIN_SRC lilypond :file demo.eps :exports results
\relative c' { c4 e g e f d b g }
#+END_SRC
And even automatically trims the result!
end sample org file
The main drawback is that it's ideal for people who already use Emacs, but if
you don't use Emacs, then you would have to learn Emacs.

There is a footnote on that page:

Maybe this is the issue that affected you. Perhaps that comment should be
moved to the main text.
