Yes, it can do beautiful incipits. I place the following code at the top
of the file (retrieved from the snippets repository):
incipit =
#(define-music-function (parser location incipit-music) (ly:music?)
#{
\once \override Staff.InstrumentName #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\once \override Staff.InstrumentName #'self-alignment-Y = #UP
\once \override Staff.InstrumentName #'Y-offset = #4
\once \override Staff.InstrumentName #'padding = #0.3
\once \override Staff.InstrumentName #'stencil =
#(lambda (grob)
(let* ((instrument-name (ly:grob-property grob 'long-text))
(layout (ly:output-def-clone (ly:grob-layout grob)))
(music (make-music 'SequentialMusic
'elements (list (make-music 'ContextSpeccedMusic
'context-type 'MensuralStaff
'element (make-music 'PropertySet
'symbol 'instrumentName
'value instrument-name))
$incipit-music)))
(score (ly:make-score music))
(mm (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'mm))
(indent (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'indent))
(width (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'incipit-width))
(incipit-width (if (number? width)
(* width mm)
(* indent 0.5))))
(ly:output-def-set-variable! layout 'indent (- indent
incipit-width))
(ly:output-def-set-variable! layout 'line-width indent)
(ly:output-def-set-variable! layout 'ragged-right #f)
(ly:output-def-set-variable! layout 'ragged-last #f)
(ly:output-def-set-variable! layout 'system-count 1)
(ly:score-add-output-def! score layout)
(set! (ly:grob-property grob 'long-text)
(markup #:score score))
(ly:system-start-text::print grob)))
#})
Then something like the following:
cantusIncipit = <<
\new MensuralVoice = cantusIncipit <<
\repeat unfold 9 { s1 \noBreak }
{
\override Rest #'style = #'neomensural
\clef "neomensural-c1"
\key c \major
\time 2/2
r2 a'2
}
>>
Then finally in the \score:
\new Voice = "cantus" <<
\incipit \cantusIncipit
\cantusMusic
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "cantus" \cantusLyrics

P.S. I tried to send a PDF of a single page, but it was apparently too
big. You can see the incipits in a modern edition I did at
