Does the preprocessing require scheme? If you're just using sed or m4 or python, I'd do this: # mylily.sh cp $1 /tmp sed '...' /tmp/$1 > /tmp/$1-processed.ly lilypond /tmp/$1-processed.ly mv /tmp/$1-processed.ly . Granted it could be made a lot cleaner... and now that I've mentioned it, I'm certain that people have posted nicer preprocessing tips to this mailing list. Try searching the archives?
