That's not it either.  No one is editing PDF files.  Let's
say I write template.ly and make that available online.
Then lots of other people download template.ly and edit it
for themselves, changing the filename to my-song.ly and 
adding their own notes or whatever.  Then they compile their
own .ly files on their own systems to create their own PDFs.

Now let's say I design the template to use a non-standard
font.  If the user doesn't have that font, then I want to
specify a cascading list of alternative font selections, so
that I still have some degree of control over how the output
looks on a variety of unknown systems.
