If "the code is mostly copied from an old file" of yours, this sounds
like Janne has needed to "follow some standard", and you needed to do so
previously as well.  So it would appear like a request that is not
unheard of, and LilyPond should likely provide an easier way to support
this style.

Do you have a suggestion how this could be fit into LilyPond?  With
LaTeX, one would likely make this the topic of a style package and load
it with \usepackage, possibly with several possible options to select
various variants of key changes.
