Mostly, in such situations, I let the text editor do the job. The 
simplest solution is simply to use copy/paste, but many text editors 
also allows you to define macros that can be useful in these situations.
Yet another alternative is to let LilyPond do the job, either using 
simple techniques like \repeat unfold {....} or Scheme based solutions 
like http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=390, 
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=390 or 
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=346.
