I only did it for a piano trio, and that was about three months after I
started using Lilypond -- I was young and stupid. :)

A few problems, though:
- it's icky to write out "quarter", instead of having the graphical
note.- it doesn't handle tempo changes.

Problems:
- you have to deal with that ^#(note (something "= 120) see-refman)
stuff. I can never remember where to stick (), where to stick a comma,
etc.
- it doesn't change MIDI tempo.
The ideal solution would be to make \tempo {4=100} print ".| = 100" automatically
via the ^#(note (something "= 120) see-refman) stuff, in addition to changing
the MIDI stuff. Oh, actually I guess that we should use a \mark instead of
text ^#(blah). You get the general idea, at least.
About your other questions,
- I'll check out the linking bug (eventually, nd if nobody else does)
- "an orchestral score" is a section in the tutorial.
