A decade ago, I tried to use Lilypond for the whole deal… but soon found out it was not powerful or flexible enough. Here’s my workflow: 1. Generate the score in Lilypond, saved as a PDF. 2. Edit the "wrapper" in LaTeX, with the PDF score included at the appropriate place. 3. Generate a final PDF (with title page, frontmatter, score, and endmatter) directly from LaTeX. > What manager you'd recommend to use?

It’s both possible and convenient… but the results are a little less satisfying (to my eye). > - Is it possible to import Inskape files in LP for the cover? Yes. That’s also possible in LaTeX, of course. Hope that helps!
