Can LilyPond do incipits?

[Patrick Karl]

I'm trying to duplicate in LilyPond a very ugly photocopied piece of 
music, which was handed out in an Early Music workshop, which includes 
"incipits".  Does LilyPond do incipits?  The only thing I find in the 
v2.12 NR is:

    Incipits
    TBC

    See also

which doesn't seem very promising.  There is no entry in the index for 
incipit.

I looked at the v2.13 NR, and it doesn't include an entry in the index 
for incipit.
