Thank you, everyone! I am somewhat familiar with Scribus, never used LaTex before though, so perhaps I'll give that a try first, with something simple.
THanks! dirck ________________________________ From: lilypond-user-bounces+dnagy=uwlax....@gnu.org <lilypond-user-bounces+dnagy=uwlax....@gnu.org> on behalf of Silvain Dupertuis <silvain-dupert...@bluewin.ch> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2024 3:13 PM To: lilypond-user@gnu.org <lilypond-user@gnu.org> Subject: Re: Advice or tutorials for book publishing? Caution: *External Email: Use caution responding, opening attachments, or clicking on links.* OOoLilyPond works quite well for short musical sheet extracts within a document. For whole sheets, if you to handle page numbers, header and footers, table of contents, cover, etc, the best I can suggest is to use Scribus<https://www.scribus.net/> * create the PDF pages using Frescobaldi/Lilypond (as separate pages, or you can separate them with a PDF tool) * use Scribus for your document, insert the pages as PDF linked into image frames (do not "import" the PDFs!) and add everything you need on top (preferably on a different layer) * export as PDF from Scribus (be sure to select "Embed PDF.... experimental", it says experimental, but it works very well!I You can even redit the music with Lilypond, if needed, and you do not need to reinsert the PDF, providing they have the same name.

For smaller projects, this is a practical tool. For really big documents with lots of complete songs/pieces, you might prefer the TeX-based solutions mentioned by Carl and Hraban.
