I've set a \book{} with a table-of-contents and other front-matter on

page-number on the inside-front-cover, and start numbering pages from
"1" on the next page?
Use bookparts:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.35"
\paper {
first-page-number = #-1
}
\bookpart {
\markup { "Front cover" }
}
\bookpart {
\paper {
print-page-number = ##f
% For roman numerals, comment the previous and uncomment the
following line
%page-number-type = roman-lower
}
\markup {
"Inside front cover: table of contents, etc.
No page number wanted, but Roman ``i'' would be OK."
}
}
\bookpart {
\markup { "Music starts here. Page no. 1" }
{ c''1 }
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I’m not satisfied with the method of setting page numbers, though. Do we
really not have a way to have pages numbered independently in each
bookpart, or set first-page-number for one \bookpart only? It’s a very
common usecase to number the frontmatter pages in Roman numerals, and
then start over in Arabic numerals for the music.
Best, Simon
