Nicolas,

I'm not the original poster, I was just wondering what this pre-processor
was, I'm ok with the current relative/absolute note entry with apostrophes.

I am considering macros to provide more-or-less what you would call
"conditional \include files" or "smart \includes" that will \include
different files for songs, paper sizes, code, copyright footers, etc. based
on condition tests, instead of me having to physically comment/uncomment the
\include statements I want.  This and some other possibilities to generate
lilypond code more easily for re-use, outside of simple \include files.  I
probably should have started a new thread.  I'm getting the results I want
using all native lp as well, but need some automation in file management now
that I've got several hundred songs going at once across dozens of
templates.

Rick
