Indeed - but no harm in looking at other possibilities if planning a request
for changes in Frescobaldi.

Being an elderly and amateur single-user, I have limited experience of GitHub,
but I take your point.

I can accept the idea that snippets should stand on their own feet and be
complete in themselves, but I envisage a template as being larger — perhaps one
of a family of similar entities. In this context it makes a lot of sense to use
\include files for code which is common to all. In the event that a bug in such
a code fragment is discovered, it doesn’t need to be fixed in every file of
which it would necessarily be a part if you excluded the use of \includes. This
happened to me recently when a change in Lilypond version made illegal a piece
of code which I had previously got away with!

Absolutely right - I’ll be using it from now on now that I’ve “rediscovered” it!
