If the Emacs/jedit/vim/... modes, the templates and the examples in the documentation follow a common style, than that's probably what most users will follow as well, without the need for any official documented standard.

The question of an "official" LilyPond style comes up every so often. (ie something like "always begin with a \version string, then the \headers. Violinx should be written as violinOne, violinTwo, etc")
I used to like the idea, but now I've moved into the "don't care; do whatever
you want, as long as it compiles" camp. However, if there was interest
in it, I wouldn't mind including a section on "official" templates / style
stuff. With a note that these are suggestions; like all coding styles, there's
no real "right" answer. (apart from two-space tabs. That's definitely the
right answer. ;)
Anyway, shall I bring this up on lilypond-user? Or is there some reason why
the Lilypond Project doesn't want to include Official Style Guidelines (tm) ?
Because the Lilypond doesn't care what users do. It's more that we want to have a uniform style so our manual and examples look uniform. Better that we don't set Official Guidelines, rather, we could present our style as an option.
FWIW, I always use the emacs standard mode settings, which does 4 space indents. However, the manual does not use standard indents. 2 space indents makes more sense for the space constrained manual.
Maybe we ought to set our standard to two spaces, and move all manual
examples to 2 spaces. Jan?
