Hi, sorry if this has been asked before...
Is it possible to pass in header variables in via the CLI?
For example, I would like to pass the copyright date in via a
parameter, instead of it being saved in the .LY file.
This can be done in LaTeX, so I hope there is a way to do something
similar in lilypond.
Cheers

You could define a variable on the command line and insert it into the
header block of a Lilypond file.
\version "2.18.2"
#(use-modules (guile-user))
\header { copyright = \markup { "©" \year "The Composer" } }
{ c''1 }
lilypond -e '(define-public year "2017")' tmp.ly
