P.S. The full source to the song I'm working on is at: https://codeberg.org/ubuntourist/celtic_song_book/src/branch/main/source/irish/let_erin_remember_days_old.ly (There's some comments in the middle starting with "# Gah!" which is just a copy and paste of the portion of the manual that I don't understand. You can ignore that.)
