Having a collection of well documented/commented complete examples (bookcases) is a very good idea. Fortunately such a collection exists: the mutopia project: http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ Most of you already know this. I'm new to Lilypond and have recently discovered it, so this is to alert other newbies that may not know of Mutopia's existence. I've been browsing through it and have been delighted to find that the .ly files for the pieces there are well structured and commented liberally. It's definitely a place I'm going to spend some time in - seeing how the experienced lily users typeset songs.
