Greetings -
I'm running LilyPond 2.19.80 under Linux/Ubuntu 16.04.
I have a fair amount of experience with LilyPond, but none with
lilypond-book or LaTeX.
I'm assembling a collection of fiddle tunes, and I'd like an index. I
thought of using a table of contents, but that won't quite work, I
don't think. The problem is that some tunes are known by multiple
names, and I'd like a quick way to find a tune under any of its names.
I'd like the index to precede the tunes (like a table of contents).
Is there a fairly straightforward way to accomplish this? The learning
curve for LaTeX seems rather steep, and I don't think I would need
LaTex for anything besides the index. Same with lilypond-book. I could
be mistaken.
I have never used it but I think LaTeX's indexing features should be
quite appropriate for what you need.
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Indexing
is a very short recipe-like introduction to indexing with LaTeX and it
looks quite straightforward.
All you would need is
* insert each score with \includepdf
* Add \index{one-name} \index{another-name} entries
* If you also want a table of contents in your book you can create
entries for the scores with \addcontentsline (as you obviously can't
enter a real section heading)

I already have the tunes transcribed, with alternative titles. I also
have a spreadsheet that contains columns for title, two or three
alternative titles, and the LY filename.
I am open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
Ralph
