Mark, this looks close to something I'm doing (but better!)  I have a
question, though.  You have the file impressions.ily and in that an
impressions-tune variable and in that references to \harmony and
\melody variables.  How do you keep the harmony and melody variables
from clashing with those in other .ily files?  I use a naming
convention, but this gets convoluted sometimes.
