I applaud your determination to make the Lilypond syntax as simple as 
possible and I practically threw a party at the demise of \notes at the 
2.2 --> 2.4 change, but I think you could spend your time more productively 
than finding ways to get rid of \score and raggedright. \score is already 
optional for extremely simple examples like { a' b' c'' }
