Erik,

What is sed?  Is there a homepage and user manual for it?  I am currently
evaluating choices for a pre-processor, I'm looking at both M4 and ML/I. 
Should I also be looking at sed as a possibliity?  I want to begin
compartmentalizing my rather long lilypond templates to something beyond
numerous \include files to make it easier to manage.

I wish there were a lilypond dedicated text editor with plug-ins capability
for managing large lp projects, but in the absence of that dream I want to
bite the bullet and learn a pre-processor of some kind.

thanks
Rick
