Michael, You mentioned that the score is programmatically generated. If so, can you modify the generating program and regenerate the score?
Otherwise, a more complete example would be nice. Are you trying to do a simple string replacement of a few (unicode) characters, or are you trying to replace larger chunks of LilyPond code? It would also help to know what operating system environment you are using. The answer may be to make a copy of the whole tree and run a search/replace utility recursively on all the files.

I have a programmatically generated score and am now realizing that I want to make a small tweak to text markups that are throughout the score in multiple files that are included at multiple levels. " 1↑" replace with " 1" (e.g. remove the up arrow when it is preceded by a 1) Is it possible to do this with a global search and replace on compile such that I do not need to edit each individual file (of which there are hundreds) manually? I could do this through the terminal, but I would rather not destructively edit the files. Thanks in advance! Best, Michael
