Thanks for the tip. What I ended up doing was writing a script to
introduce a new syntax. I find \melisma ... \melismaEnd quite
cumbersome so I now use [[ to start a melisma and ]] to end it. The
Makefile runs it through a simple perl script to convert foo[[ into
\autoBeamOn foo\melisma and ]] into \melismaEnd \autoBeamOff before
feeding it to LilyPond.
I wish I'd done that a long time ago.
