Well this seems to imply: "forget being able to build a lilypond file from scratch, you must start from a template or all is lost."
Infact for the majority of my Lilypond experience I relied on templates for creating scores. What this did was limit my ability to make a score do exactly what I wanted. So in the 2.4 series lilypond I was eventually able to create my own template. Still I was never exactly sure why it worked and others I tried didn't... An abstraction layer would be nice with a clearly defined structure and it would also be nice to be able to seperate content from formatting.... Although I don't care so much how Lilypond is structured so long as I understand it and can reproduce it, which I currently can't do consistantly. I also haven't seen templates without the x=y structure although I think I am close to getting it working in the development version.
