I have some snippets which I'm including in a TeX document (via lyluatex, not lilypond-book, but the process is largely the same). The thing is that for some of these snippets I need two variants which differ by the appearance of a single `*`. I don't want to have maintain two full versions o

You have three options: 1) lilypond-book: This is a script that comes with LilyPond which enables you to pseudo-include lilypond scores into TeX documents. It preprocesses the document to extract the lilypond relavent bits, runs them through lilypond, and then creates a new TeX document where
