Of course I use sly.  I am converting it to python, and not yet around 
the bend on the learning curve, but here is a sed filter that fills
empty lines with whatever you choose.

In xxx.ly:
measureRest = {\notes s1}

(The necessity for \notes is/was? a bug.)

The filter:

# pie.sed --put into empty lines, no tabs
/%pie=/{
h
s/.*%pie=//
x
}
/^ *$/{
g
}

Sample file:

notes notes %pie=measureRest



notes %pie=somethingElse

-----end

Result:

notes notes
measureRest
measureRest
measureRest
notes
somethingElse
-----end

To use it in an xxx.ly file which is not just parts, address the 
interesting portions:

/%{start%},%{end%}/{
#put stuff here
}

or use:

%pie=

Br`er Fox told Br`er Rabbit that the Tar Baby had dissed him, and Fox 
made a
dummy out of tar and put him in Rabbit's path.  When the Tar Baby 
failed to
return a civil greeting, Rabbit punched him with a right, a left, both 
feet and
butted him with his forehead.  Along came Br`er Fox who saw that he was
thoroughly "stuck up".  Br`er Fox is much smarter than Br`er Rabbit, 
and in
spite of all Rabbit's pleas for help, no one is going to unstick him 
and throw
him in the briar patch, so now Br`er Fox is liesurely eating Rabbit's 
liver.
