What about adding some sort of switch? An advanced option, so to speak. 
Much like I include #(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f) at the top of 
every score, since I don't need point and click, maybe we could create a 
#(ly:set-option 'strict-structure #f) for advanced users. This would 
allow for requiring strict file structure until you feel comfortable 
enough to not need it.

We would probably have to allow it as a command line option as well, 
otherwise all the doc examples, etc., would need the switch and that 
could be cumbersome.

Just thinking out loud, here. I haven't delved into the code that allows 
the structure to be so fluid, so I'm not sure how much work this would 
be to implement.

Cheers,
Bryan...
