I've done this kind of thing with cat.
  cat header.ly $1.ly > /tmp/temp.ly
  lilypond -dpreview /tmp/temp.ly
  mv /tmp/temp.preview.png $1.png

and then call that loop on about six thousand .ly files.

(the exact code is in my MEAWS googlecode project, which relies on
having previously generated the .ly files using my MEWES
googlecode project.  I could dig it up if you're interested.)
