file trees: the files for each instrument's music definition, for
printing
parts, and for the score.
I believe that jedit does this; you could have a look at their scripts.
Has anyone else done such a thing? Does anyone else have workflow
sugesstions
for orchestral engraving? Also, are there any particularly good
"models" of
orchestral scores set in Lilypond around? I've been working from Will
Oram's
engraving of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, which I got from Mutopia.
Make sure you read Chapter 4 in the 2.7 docs. There might not be
anything new in there for you, but if there *is*, you'll have wanted to
have read it. :)
