I was not aware of GEMA, (I already tried m4 and ML1 but was uncomfortable
with them in the mix), actually ideally I'd rather lilypond had it's own
source text pre-processor, then going forward my music would have no other
software dependencies other than a lilypond installation, IOW no 3rd party
macros.

I know of regular expressions and use them in my text editor searches, etc.
but this is more along the lines of making my lilypond music code itself
more flexible, I'm happy with many different editors and am trying to avoid
creating my lilypond music code libraries in any specific editors snippet
library.  I'd prefer to keep my libraries as lp \include files, but at some
point I'm always needing some pre-processing of the source text prior to lp
compilation.  Be it token replacement (to change \key perhaps), or a Case
statement to \include a parameterized chord inversion selection from a
library of chords, etc.
