That's exactly the point where I was thinking about try except.

I tried this now as a top level scheme construct,

#(if (file-exists? "somepath.ily") (#{
          \include "somepath.ily"
 #}))

But lilypond does not like it. Do I need a scheme function (even without
arguments)? Is including inside scheme possible?

I fear that any solution is probably more complex than just writing:

% For a stand alone version remove these lines ...
...
% ... until here.

and leave it to the user to care about it.

Thanks also for the suggestion of processing scripts around, but that's
not the question. I have them. I just wanted the score to be compilable
without.

Cheers,
