I don't follow.

Essentially, we just want to print out
Adding Ambits Per Voice

instead of
adding-ambits-per-voice

right?  Why would the formatting be different in the Snippet
document than in the manuals?  Just make it
@emph{\NAME\}
or something like that.

IIRC you can't use macros like that in texinfo.  I mean, you
can't do

@macro lilyheader{FILENAME}
@lilypondfile[foo,bar]{\FILENAME\}
@end macro

which is essentially what this proposal boils down to, right?  I
spent ages trying to do this for the section headers.  :(
If you /can/ do this, possibly by modifying lilypond-book and/or
texinfo, that would be awesome.
