I thought you said you knew python... or maybe that was your
brother? ... and maybe it was perl, not python?


Still, download the lsr-docs, and try running the file... oh wait,
you're on windows: the only OS that doesn't include python by
default.  Python is a good thing to have installed, but that might
be too much bother for this.

lilypond -dsafe foo.ly

the file will be safe or unsafe.  It comes down to what kinds of
scheme is used.

It's possible to hide a lot of nasty stuff in scheme.  Having
a short list of things you need to look at carefully will make it
much easier.  But since John's doing this, never mind.
