I don’t believe that’s necessary… but we can leave that aside for now, since 
the technical investigation required to determine whether my intuition is 
correct isn’t worth it at this stage of the discussion.

I agree 100%. (But, as an aside, many people wouldn’t!)

So, to output a simple 16-bar lead sheet, a user should always [be forced to] 
create 3 files (voice.ily, chords.ily, score.ly)? Or maybe four (lyrics.ily)? 
Or more?
Because a “one-per-instrument” file structure — or something equally segmented 
in some other way — is likely necessary (or at least desirable enough to be 
chosen as the standard) for a huge project like an opera.

Best regards,
Kieren.
