You make a good point about the text file format as input to Lilypond. Over the years I've developed a healthy appreciation for plain text formats. They never go out of date, you never lose the application to read them, you're not stuck with paying licensing fees for apps to continue to use your document, etc... I just wanted to chime in with a neat tip associated with text files: revision control systems. Us software engineers rely on revisioning systems every day, but there's no reason these incredibly useful tools should be restricted to programmers. I've started using GIT for all my documents after reading about how author Cory Doctorow uses it for his books. The neat thing is that Lilypond's plain text format would make an ideal candidate for revision control. Just a geeky tip. Now back to your regularly scheduled looping...
