Nice work, but your pdf includes many different subsets of the lilypond fonts
and is several MB to big because of this.
Use the --bigpdfs option of lilypond in step 3. The resulting pdfs are _much_
bigger because all glyphs from the fonts are included.

Wow, thanks, I hadn’t thought of that at all! There’s always something more to
learn! :)
If I apply the attached patch to a cloned git archive I get the following
results with ghostscript 9.06:
bok2: Original size 9.996.691 bytes, optimized size 2.043.380 bytes
bok3: Original size 13.706.324 bytes, optimized size 2.447.232 bytes
Unfortunately I found that a current git master of ghostscript does not work as
intended. I have to bisect and investigate that problem.
A lot of pages contain a lot of white space. It would be possible to include
every staff as a paragraph instead of including the whole pdfs ….
Yeah, but that is intentional. I didn’t want tunes split over page breaks
(except the tunes that are too long to fit in one page). Actually that was the
main reason for not using lilypond-book: I wanted more fine-grained control
over vertical spacing, and I found that much easier to achieve when lilypond
takes care of the whole typesetting process.
I did not write about using lilypond-book, I never use it and prefer
pdf(la)tex/xe(la)tex/lua(la)tex for similar reasons.
I agree that there are valid reasons not to split over page breaks if a page
turn would be the result. But why do you have objections against a score
starting on an even page and continuing on an uneven page?
A possible extension of your work: You might generate score videos (example)
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqWYmrwTcqQ> and add links to those videos in
your books ....
