Now you can tell whether that paper copy is up-to-date.  Of course, you don't want this code cluttering up every lilypond score, so best put it in a separate file and \include it.

Nice. I have a simpler solution for those who launch a bash script for rendering en masse. The script has this line:

    echo "hash="\"Git version `git log --pretty="%h %s" | head -1`"\"" > gitversion-header.ily

Then the same script calls lilypond on the files to compile as usual.

The lilypond file or your stylesheet \includes the file gitversion-header.ily and prints the version with a \markup{\hash} or similar.
