First impression from the screenshot you sent me: Wow!  On second
thought: Oh, but this probably just does:

    choice = dialog.read ();
    switch choice
       case MELODY:
          f = open ("/usr/share/lilypond/template/melody.ly");
       case SONG:
          f = read ("/usr/share/lilypond/template/melody-lyrics.ly");
       ...    
    s = f.read ();
    print (s);

On third thought: Hmm, why is this an advantage over

    C-xi /usr/share/lilypond/template/melody.ly

Oh well, whatever makes u[sers] happy.  If this application is found
useful, espcially if it's smarter than my case statement above, please
consider writing it in a python script (think: ly-gen song), with a
(separate) pygtk frontend if you want a gui and have it
cross-platform, so we can include it in lilypond.

Jan.
