Thanks for all the feedback I already got. 

I have now added the following things:
-) 2-staff choir + piano reduction
-) single tab staff
-) staf + tab staff in a group
-) single staff with drum clef
-) single rhythmic staff (single-line)
-) Added empty title, subtitle, etc. header fields

Making the number of lines in a staff completely configurable would need more 
work and I don't think it's needed that often (single-line staff is added now, 
tab staff, too).

Yeah, mixup with German, where it's spelt "Quartett"...

Yes, as I said, lilypond needs to run only once on each combination of 
settings, so after the first call, things are quite fast.

In my template (using smarty in php), I already had ($title is cleaned, to 
prevent lilypond code insertion security problems):
  {{if $title}}  title="{{$title}}"{{/if}}
so I simply changed it to 
  title="{{if $title}}{{$title}}{{/if}}"

Cheers,
Reinhold
