Yes, of course, that's what I've been doing — but I consider it hacky, so I was
hoping someone had a more elegant solution.

I've been using it for 10 years now.
This piece ("Robin Hood: The Legendary Musical Comedy") is simply taxing
Lilypond's abilities more than other works I've engraved in the past: 2.5 hours
of music theatre for 8 instruments (including 2 multi-instrumentalists), 9
vocal soloists, and a chorus of up to three independent two-part lines.
Thanks!
Kieren.
