Hello Greg, I will not give a very detailed answer because I do not have time to spend on so many points, but I hope to give you the right direction:
@1) Checkout tags in lilypond. You can tag line breaks like \tag #'part \break @2) Checkout the documentation about changing the staff size: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size[1] @3) Checkout this part of the documentation: https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/custom-titles-headers-and-footers[2] Lilypond uses special markups for title, headers and footers. The default implementation can be found in the installation directory of Lilypond in ly/titling-init.ly. You can redefine these things in a paper block to create any design of your choice. @4) See the answer for 3) Cheers, Valentin Am Montag, 12.
