And get the notes out of those \lilypondfiles.  If your scores have
more than one part, use sly for the notes.  Then make one .ly file
or as many different ones as you need, probably one will do,
as a template and build the \lilypondfiles with a script.  I
have found this a very good way to proceed, except that I haven't
had any reason to use sly to do it, because my scores in this
particular project only have one part.

I did not do that with the Ten Lessons at openguitar.com, I
used \begin\end{lilypond}, but
I wish I had.  It would have made the upgrade to 1.6.2 a lot
less painful, and saved me hours.
