I wonder if using the raw=1 attribute would solve your issue. According to the
documentation setting that attribute to 1 will cause the code to be treated as a complete Lilypond file.
As for the template I tried to set one up:
Template: Inc primarily so it would place all pages with incipits into a category. I ran into two problems. First, the pipe character within the Lilypond code would have to be replaced with the
Template:! and second the result is still displaying the text as if it were code--no image. Two possible explanations for the latter issue: 1. the score extension can't be used within a template. 2. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm leaning toward number 2.
In regards to the issue of text for vocal works being used in the |Incipit= field I don't think that should really be a problem. Would not the end goal be to replace the text-only incipits with ones that incorporated both the text and the music?
