If I'm not mistaken, putting them in \book results in
foo.pdf (main score)
foo-0.pdf (1st violin)
foo-1.pdf (2nd violin)
foo-2.pdf (viola)
foo-3.pdf (cello)
Is that really preferable to separate files, where you can give
the .ly files (and therefore the .pdfs) sensible names?
I don't mind changing this in theory, but I'm really not certain
it would be an improvement. That said, perhaps the template
should just show a string quartet score; people wanting to create
separate parts can read the appropriate section of the LM.
(and if we *don't* have an appropriate section of the LM -- and I
can't see such an example under 3.4 -- then this should be a TODO)

No. If people want "real music" as templates, there's 1000 scores
in Mutopia. I don't want tutorial-newbies trying to figure out
what parts of a real piece to delete in order to get a basic
template.
BTW, I hope that you know that you'll be modifying these templates
in LSR. Consult with Valentin over whether you should become an
editor, or just use the "clone+edit" method.
... err, also consult with him as to when LSR might be online
again.
Other than "piano centered dynamics template"; that needs to be
handled separately.
Cheers,
