Thank you both, Abraham and David.
It seems like the least effort now is to produce several PDF files and
concatenate them, which means I also have to manually create a table of
contents. Had I known beforehand that working with different staff sizes
would be such a problem, I simply could have chosen other font sizes, since
those parts don’t actually feature music, only text and chord symbols.
Well, I am wiser for the next project now …
