Indeed if you put

(while (d-MoveCursorRight)
 (format #t "~A " (d-GetLilyPond)))

into Denemo's scheme command line interpreter  you will get the LilyPond
code for all the music from the current staff from after the cursor
splurged out on the terminal. I had better put that into a command
piping the output to a file for those who would wish for the raw
LilyPond music for inclusion in a hand-written template system.
