> I mention this because while arranging some piece of music recently, I noticed that Org-mode might be helpful in this context - it is probably already possible by tweaking org-babel a bit: lilypond encourages the user to structure music in a way that lends itself rather naturally to processing with Org-mode - you can assign a theme, a few bar with notes or even whole voices to variables and use them repeatedly. And imagine using Org-mode's outline capabilities to structure a piece of music. Exporting an org-file with lilypond-snippets in it to PDF or HTML might also be an interesting option.

I think this is very exciting.

Best regards,
Terry
