Hello all
I’m looking for tips, advice, or even tutorials on publishing
complete printed books (extensive text and musical examples) using
Lilypond.
Examples of some projects I would like to re-edit and print:
• a collection of individual pieces
• a book of etudes (i.e. several different complete pieces,
with commentary)
• a teaching manual (many short musical examples, 1 – 8
measures long, with commentary)
• eventually, a complete Counterpoint textbook...but this will
be several years down the road!
Questions I have for the community:
• how did you integrate Lilypond examples into the document?
◦ (export / import Lilypond as pdf, image, etc…?)
• What publishing / word processing software did you use for
the final assembly?
• Any problems you had that you didn’t foresee?
For me, it's lilypond-book with LaTeX.

lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/usage/latex>
LaTeX is made for publishing. For a serious publication, it's SO much
better than a word processer.
While I’m using ConTeXt* (the other TeX) with LilyPond and published a
few songbooks this way, I’d also suggest LaTeX for its better
integration with LilyPond.
Have a look at openlilylib: https://openlilylib.org/
