It totally isn't, neither in concept nor in execution. In my book, it would benefit from a layer trying to abstract content and design in a manner like LaTeX does, but LilyPond in common use does not have any such layer or architecture as it stands. It's essentially employed like plain TeX, explicitly cranking out stuff with thin individual user-convenience layers on top. We don't have the equivalence of document classes, and no coherent system of what amounts to LaTeX's package system. -- David Kastrup
