Hello,
I've just finished a script that makes LilyPond skeleton files. It
should work with both 2.4 and 2.6 versions.
Please try it (see README -> Quick Test) and tell me how useful you
think it is; and tell me if the code is clumsy, because I'm not very
experienced.
I don't know how to distribute it: it depends whether it will be
included in LilyPond or not. If it should be distributed separately, I'd
have to add the GPL license, and maybe an installation procedure (do you
think it is really necessary for a so simple program?)
