I considered adding a comment string to indicate where
a file was read in, but rejected that idea. It would
be far better to put appropriate comments in "mymacs4.ly"
or whatever you want to call yours, sort of like this:
%{ ~/bin/mymacs4.ly For inclusion in xxx.ly files
Contents:
global typefaces
italic headers
etc.......
Command in xxx.ly file: \include "~/bin/mymacs.ly"
%}
xxxxxxx (your stuff, with comments)
xxxxxx
xxxxxx
% end of included mymacs4.ly.
I think that's a better way of explaining what is going on,
and it encourages constant evolution and improvement.
Another approach is to put *everything*
in mymacs.ly and then comment out/in what you do/don't want to use
*after* reading it into the xxx.ly file. These are not either/or
ideas. daveA

Br`er Fox told Br`er Rabbit that the Tar Baby had dissed him, and Fox
made a
dummy out of tar and put him in Rabbit's path. When the Tar Baby
failed to
return a civil greeting, Rabbit punched him with a right, a left, both
feet and
butted him with his forehead. Along came Br`er Fox who saw that he was
thoroughly "stuck up". Br`er Fox is much smarter than Br`er Rabbit,
and in
spite of all Rabbit's pleas for help, no one is going to unstick him
and throw
him in the briar patch, so now Br`er Fox is liesurely eating Rabbit's
liver.
