It will definitely be far less work.
The most complicated issue will be to find a suitable (i.e. most 
"compatible") example.
Just want also to state that my copyright concerns aren't at all about 
some intellectual property of mine. I'm happy to share all my experience 
this way, there are rather formal issues I'm not really clear about yet ...

Of course that's already been opened by making the page available 
through the menu of my web site.
One imporant resource on the web are tutorials like this, giving simple 
solutions or thorough explanations on any given topic.
My impression is that there isn't that much available for LilyPond as I 
would have liked when starting to learn.
So this was one major motivation to actually start writing this down.
