Table of contents comes to mind.
I've made a reduction for voice+piano of Giulio Cesare for a singer,
who asked me to add a table of contents.

ohhh! that's a fascinating problem! It should be doable in LilyPond, of course, but I'm putting it on "open to sponsor" list of features.



It is a fascinating problem all right, but if the table of contents
must be in the front pages of your document, it can turn ugly-ugly-ugly,
you might consider doing multiple passes, and you will have basically
reinvented LaTeX in the process :-)

Actually, it wouldn't. Lily keeps all pages in memory at the same time. I'd have to rewire the logic of composing pages (ie. putting headers and footers to them), and make a mechanism where you can transport information out of a \markup neatly. Things would only get hairy if the vertical space available on a page depends on the page number.
