If you look at 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/proportional-notation 
and the third example down, there's a single piece of music repeated three 
times but with different options on spacing.  I've noticed a number of 
similar examples.  I'd find it clearer if the music were assigned to a 
variable, and the examples used that variable - it would be absolutely clear 
what was changed between the examples.  It would also save a little space. 
Is there a reason for not doing this?
