To take an example. I have the lilypond code in two separate files, one
<piece>.ly and one <piece>.ily, where the .ly one deals with the layout
of the output, and the .ily contains just the music and possible lyrics.
So A.ly is (at its basics)
\include "A.ily"
\score {
...
}
while A.ily is
lyrAlt = ...
musAlt = ...
I also have an A_header_full.ily with
\header {
...
}
\paper {
...
}
#(set-global-staff-size 16)
and run:
lilypond --ps -dinclude-settings=A_header_full.ily A.ly
if I want the headings or just
lilypond --ps A.ly
if I don't want them.
So if you want another style, just cp A.ly to B.ly and change it to
your liking, and possible create a A_header file with your own paper and
header preferences, and then you have at least two versions/editions.
The core idea is to separate the music and the presentation.
