I would rather use Nicolas' incipit code: 
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Search?q=incipit

Alternatively, you can also take his clef-key.ily file (can be found at his 
homepage, git repo git://repo.or.cz/nenuvar.git, but I'm also attaching it to 
this file) and adjust it for incipits, too. Currently, it only supports 
modern/ancient clefs and keys, but it should be straightfoward to also allow 
incipit music definitions...

Cheers,
Reinhold
