Yes, I did mean that, but I've since discovered that I need something else.

My piece is broken into many different parts, and I need to view more
than one part at a time to determine the correctness of a section.  I
could apply this setting to all the parts I'm currently interested in
and modify the top-level file to include only those parts, but I
figure there's must be a better way.

It would be greate if there were a start-measure and end-measure
property that would specify which measures to start and end on during
output(/processing/preprocessing, I as the user only care about
output).  I'd expect this to be a command-line argument, but alas, I
cannot find any documentation on lilypond's command-line interface
(and I don't have access to lilypond right now to experiment).
