Is this effort all about creating stylesheets (i.e., customizing the look-and-feel of scores via \overrides, fonts, etc.) or templates (i.e., the structure of the scores)? I can see arguments for both and I think they would both be useful, especially for folks transitioning from GUI notation programs. Actually, more and more, I've started to feel like this is more of a necessity, but that discussion is for another day/thread.

I think this discussion is perfect, I just want to make sure we are all on the same page and driving to the same outcome that Kieren is proposing here. Ultimately, when it comes to templates, I don't see any reason why a standard set of these can't be included in LilyPond itself for the user to access, but maybe that's more for something like Frescobaldi. I mean, if all the GUI programs can do it, why not LilyPond? I know there are lots of examples in the docs (which is fine for me since I use the docs constantly), but to be able to open an actual file with a lot of the structure already created, where a user can then customize as necessary, I would think, could be very useful, especially to newcomers.
