Re: How to organize the source?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Your approach seems reasonable. In addition to the example discussed
in the Tutorial and the template files, you may also want to look
at the full examples included in the Lilypond distribution but also
the examples at the Mutopia web site (watch out that some of the
source files at Mutopia are written for old versions of Lilypond,
though).
