Hi David,
Does anybody have an idea what is supposed to distinguish
a book from a bookpart outside of actual
\book {
\bookpart { ... } }
usage?
You can’t have multiple book parts in a single output file?
That’s the way I understand it.
Is that so?
I thought it was that each book generates its own output unit. A book
can contain any number of scores, but does not need to contain any book
parts. Scores are then optionally organized into book parts if desired.
Multiple scores in a book part can exist on the same page, however each
book part starts its own page.
(A book without any book parts stores the scores within itself. Once a
book part is explicitly added to the book, any "loose" scores are moved
to the book part. At least, that's what the code seems to say.)

Going back to the original function posted, if the output is meant to be
a book that is more-or-less immutable and ready for printing, one could
just do the following instead:
%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
test = #(define-void-function (suffix) (string?)
(print-book-with-defaults #{
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix #suffix
\score { d4 }
} #}))
\test "surname"
%%%%
Am I missing a subtlety that the original function is trying to address?
