I had asked this question on the list previously:
Laura> My complete dowland "book" is now over 150 pages, which is large
Laura> compared to my other lilypond book files, and maybe for lilypond-book
Laura> input files in general, but certainly not large as compared with lots

Laura> Since I added the last two or three songs to the book, I have been

\outputscale=\lilypondpapero...

Since I didn't get any answer here, I tried asking on comp.text.tex,
and Peter Wilson asked whether the \newdimen\outputscale occurred more
than once, and I checked, and lilypond-book seems to be putting it
into every .tex file it generates. So I asked him whether that was a
bug, and he replied:
Peter> If it isn't a bug it's certainly a major infelicity. It is possible to

Peter> For the latter something along the lines (where FILE is the name of a
Peter> file to be input):
Peter> % FILE.tex
Peter> \ifx\FILEisloaded\relax\endinput\else\let\FILEisloaded=\relax\fi
Peter> .... definitions/code (will be read only once)
Peter> \endinput
Peter> % end of FILE.tex
Could lilypond-book be revised to include logic like this?
