Re: Is it possible to get lilypond to generate a lilypond source file?

[Cameron Horsburgh]

I suggested something similar (my original message isn't there, but it's
referenced at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2005-07/msg00224.html
) Graham Percival had a few suggestions which are useful

However, having a standalone Lilypond preprocessor could be useful for a
number of reasons. Would there be any interest in sponsoring this as a
feature? Han-Wen -- how much would it cost?
