Do you mean you have four scores that have some kind of similar
"outline" or formal structure and you want to process them along the
lines of (to mention just one example) "I want a sound at this 16th note
if there is a sound in all four scores at that point" or similar kinds
of operations?

It is difficult to tell what you actually want to achieve. But in
general I would say: yes, this kind of stuff should definitely be good
to do with LilyPond. But I wouldn't expect it to be "beginner-level".
But much depends on what you really need. It *may* be that all you need
is one complicated Scheme function - and then there are good chances
that someone finds the challenge interesting and helps you on this list.

Good luck
Urs
