hi

everybody knows how cumbersome it is to write parameters in a shell - it
would be nice to have them in a lilypond file.

LilyPond provides an alternative for many of the command line options but
they are not well documented in an appropriate context.

here is a list of the approx 50 command line options provided by LilyPond
(with -dhelp or #(ly:option-usage)) with their counterparts in LilyPond. 
http://old.nabble.com/file/p33107771/doptions%2Bdefine%2Bdefault.csv
doptions+define+default.csv 

most of them work as expected (I only checked about half of the items under
Windows 7) with a few exceptions:

show-available-fonts <---> #(ly:font-config-display-fonts)
help <---> #(ly:option-usage)
read-file-list (get error messages; how is it supposed to be used?)
verbose <---> #(ly:set-option 'verbose #t) --> no result


my suggestion is to add the internal functions to the "Application Usage"
manual.

what do you think of this?
thanks
Eluze
