Exactly. Using an intermediate file is an absolute pain (and one of the main reasons why I'm not using lilypond-book, but plain latex with a Makefile generating the lilypond files). The score structure (code-wise) is actually pretty similar to what you would write in plain LilyPond. However, since OrchestralLily checks for the existence of many [score-id][instrument]variablename variables (for music, key, clef, instrument name, midi name, additional settings, transposition, lyrics, etc., this can only be done in scheme, as the exact score code depends on whether any of these variables is set on each run.
