This is exactly what I do in my LP templates :)
I just define
highMusic
leadMusic
highWords
highAWords
highBWords
and so on, and the templates will process exactly what has been defined,
leaving out the undefined parts.
I found \ifDefined and friends (attached) helpful to write the templates.
So it boils down to something like:
% Add lyrics if requestes.
\ifDefinedThen \leadWords \new Lyrics \lyricsto \voiceName \ifDefined
\leadWords
\ifDefinedThen \leadAWords \new Lyrics \lyricsto \voiceName \ifDefined
\leadAWords
\ifDefinedThen \leadBWords \new Lyrics \lyricsto \voiceName \ifDefined
\leadBWords
\ifDefinedThen \leadCWords \new Lyrics \lyricsto \voiceName \ifDefined
\leadCWords
So it is not exactly scanning, but there's no problem in adding as many
cases as necessary.
The real templates are more generic than the above example.
BTW: I'd be happy to share these templates to LSR but the snippet repo
(still) cannot handle template collections.
