Yes, of course. Attempts were the lead sheets, piano part, orchestral part.

Indeed. That's the catch. Explaining about it is definately
something you do not want to do. That's where replacing not-\relative
by \absolute would make things a bit easier, as we now have to ask

Yes, but that's not possible, we use other fragment options to tweak
the output. What we can say is: not all examples are ready for
cut-and-pasting, click on the .ly and copy the cut-and-pasteable
section from there.
