Somehow I’m now imagining a Lilypond Toys Output Module that 
builds (literally!) a representation of my score out of Lego, 
Meccano, Tinkertoys, Slinky, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, etc, 
choosing the materials by some kind of algorithm. And any elements 
of a score that involve extra Scheme code or tweaks, it will build 
from papier-mâché. Consider it an alternative definition of 
“object-oriented”. :)
