I seem to rely on these variables being scoped locally to the file, and 
this appears to work. All my different tune files have the same naming 
convention -- melody, harmony, lyrics, etc. -- and lilypond deals with 
it just fine. (One of the more knowledgeable scheme coders could 
probably explain the scoping thing, but I using 2.20 it works :-) )

The caveat here is I never use those names--melody, harmony, 
etc.--outside the .ily file, only their wrapper (impression-tune and 
impression-hdr in this case). Perhaps a naive approach but it seems to 
get the job done 

If you are interested I could send you an archive of this project for 
study
