As for stylesheets, isn't it just a matter of designing custom \layout
blocks that can be \included into scores? Here's a stub i created:
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/stylesheets
I also think that the "predefined instruments" stuff i linked to can
be a great help in making such stylesheets effective.

I only hope that this wouldn't become too diverse. One thing i really
dislike about LaTeX is that there are multiple packages doing one
thing, package conflicts etc.
