Downloading the source code is not necessary.  There are at
least two easier ways (although neither is trivial):

1) Go to the LSR at http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/
  Enter "template" in the search box and click Search
  Find the one you want and click on the image.
  This brings up the source code, which can be
   saved by using Save as in your browser.

2) Go to the Savannah source code site at
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git
  Click on "tree", then select input, then lsr
  Find the template you want, eg
   piano-template-with-centered-lyrics.ly
  and click on raw to download it.
