Due to your programming background, this is probably obvious, but just 
in case... you can make "stylesheets" of your own, from standard .ly 
files, and include them in every work.

For example, I have half a dozen files with my own definitions.  I 
include a single file, "tutti.ly" in every real music file.  "tutti.ly" 
in turn simply contains
----
\version "2.7.40"
#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)
\include "../init/init-defs.ly"
\include "../init/init-layout.ly"
\include "../init/init-paper.ly"
----

Part of init-layout.ly is this:
----
\layout{
  \context{ \Staff
    \override TimeSignature #'style = #'numbered
  }
  \context { \Voice
    \override TextScript #'padding = #1.0
    \override Glissando #'thickness = #3
    \override Glissando #'gap = #0.1
    \override Glissando #'breakable = ##f
  }
}
----


(to everybody else)
Yeah, I'll add an example of this to the docs in a few weeks.
