Hi José,
Valentin & Matt have already given much better responses to this thread.
But, on the chance that what you're really looking for is simply a way to
*externalize* big, complicated \header or \layout or \paper blocks from your
main .ly file, then bear in mind that you can do this:
### BEGIN ###
\include "my-header.ly"
\include "my-layout.ly"
\include "my-paper.ly"
% real .ly input
% goes
% here
% ...
### END ###
Just in case that's what you were actually after ...
Trevor.
