make many icons

[Jim Tisdall]

I want to create about a hundred icons that contain short (2- 5-note) rhythms
or melodic shapes, without staff lines.  They will have no staff (which I see 
how
to do).  Ideally I could write them all in one file and invoke lilypond to 
create
the hundred or so svg files.  (My current solution is to create individual files
and compile, with perl script.)

Any advice about svg settings, lilypond input format, etc., to create many 
icons of short phrases?

Thanks,
Jim
