I'm preparing an edition of sixteenth-century polyphony, using the
book-titling template[1].  The edition would benefit from some
footnotes/endnotes (the sort that say things like: "contratenor 1, bar
99: semiminim A missing in MS").  How best to achieve this, while
preserving the "book-titling" appearance?  

Urs' marvellous work on ScholarLy[2] appears ideal, but outputs its
annotations in Latex (and might have other problems - see separate
thread[3]).  So I'm now wondering how best to integrate this with a
published score.  Several possibilities present themselves:

1) lilypond-book[4].  Requires extensive knowledge of Latex, and appears
to be targetted at presenting small snippets within musicological
papers, rather that large amounts of music with a small number of
annotations.

2) Latex with \includepdf[5].

3) musicexamples.sty[6].

4) something else?

I have used Latex (once!) and I'm prepared to do some learning, but I'd
welcome advice on the most efficient way to proceed, and the pros-&-cons
of each approach.
