Hi Max,
Caveat: I've not used this personally, my scores are not complex enough.
One of the standard ways of handling this is to use make
(https://www.gnu.org/software/make). Basically you write a makefile
which tells make which files to compile and use that as the input to
Lilypond. Make is clever though, and can select files on the basis of
the last time they were changed, or if given parameters (for instance to
generate part scores).
See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/usage/make-and-makefiles
for Lily's take on this.
Regards,
Martin

Hi Everyone,
Over last last couple of days I have been thinking about possible ways
to organize the engraving of a rather large piece (~45+ staves) in Lilypond.
My problem is that the piece in question might undergo significant
changes in the future, so I need access to both instrument-wise and
measure-wise organisation simultaneously.
I am considering to enter the entire music in a huge excel spreadsheet
and to write a (python)-script to create one .ly file per voice,
storing all the music in variables that can be used both in the full
score and the individual parts.
I’m having difficulties imagining that I am the first one to have this
idea, but couldn’t find anything online.
Any hints?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Max
