Lilypond with the Command Line

[ctesta]

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to compile a lilypond source file on the
command line but pass arguments on the command line. For example let's say
the source file by default prints as a treble clef. Could you pass a
command on the command line and tell Lilypond to process the source file
and change it to a bass clef instead? without changing the source file
permanently? Could this be done using the Scheme evaluate function?

Please let me know if this is possible and if so where I might find some
info on it.

Thanks,
Carl
