At least lilypond-book is not suited for page-wise scores, since the vertical layout is absolutely terrible. However, I have now switched to plain latex files for the full scores, where I use the pdfpages package (the \includepdf command) to include the PDF generated by lilypond. This way, I first run lilypond to create the raw score and then run latex to compile all desired files together to one large full score (including nice Cover page, title page, TOC, appendix, preface with biographies etc.), which can be immediately printed. For example (2.2MB!): http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/LilyPond/Tex_Schubert_StabatMater_D383_LongScore.pdf If the score has multiple movements in the same liliypond output file, I have a lilypond function to write out the toc entries (with the correct page numbers), so I can then read it in into the addtotoc argument list of the \includepdf command. In particular, I use Lilypond's \tocItem to build up the TOC and then write it out to NameOfTheLilypondInput.toc using the following function: #(define (oly:create-toc-file layout pages) (let* ((label-table (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'label-page-table))) (if (not (null? label-table)) (let* ((format-line (lambda (toc-item) (let* ((label (car toc-item)) (text (caddr toc-item)) (label-page (and (list? label-table) (assoc label label-table))) (page (and label-page (cdr label-page)))) (format #f "~a, section, 1, {~a}, ~a" page text label)))) (formatted-toc-items (map format-line (toc-items))) (whole-string (string-join formatted-toc-items ",\n")) (output-name (ly:parser-output-name parser)) (outfilename (format "~a.toc" output-name)) (outfile (open-output-file outfilename))) (if (output-port? outfile) (display whole-string outfile) (ly:warning (_ "Unable to open output file ~a for the TOC information") outfilename)) (close-output-port outfile))))) \paper { #(define (page-post-process layout pages) (oly:create-toc-file layout pages)) } In my LaTex file I then include the score with \usepackage{pdfpages} \includescore{nameofthescore} where the \includescore is defined as: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % \includescore{PossibleExtension} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Read in the TOC entries for a PDF file from the corresponding .toc file. % This requires some heave latex tweaking, since reading in things from a file % and inserting it into the arguments of a macro is not (easily) possible % Solution by Patrick Fimml on #latex on April 18, 2009: % \readfile{filename}{\variable} % reads in the contents of the file into \variable (undefined if file doesn't exist) \newread\readf...@f \def\readf...@line#1{% {\catcode`\^^m=10\global\read\readf...@f to \readf...@tmp}% \edef\do{\noexpan...@addto@macro{\noexpand#1}{\readf...@tmp}}\do% \ifeof\readf...@f\else% \readf...@line{#1}% \fi% } \def\readfile#1#2{% \openin\readf...@f=#1 % \ifeof\readf...@f% \typeout{No TOC file #1 available!}% \else% \gdef#2{}% \readf...@line{#2}% \fi \closein\readf...@f% }% \newcommand{\includescore}[1]{ \def\...@fname{\oly@basena...@ifmtarg{#1}{}{_#1}} \let\...@addtotoc\undefined \readfile{\...@fname.toc}{\oly@addtotoc} \ifx\...@addtotoc\undefined \includepdf[pages=-]{\...@fname} \else \edef\includeit{\noexpand\includepdf[pages=-,addtotoc={\...@addtotoc}] {\...@fname}}\includeit \fi } BTW, all these functions are already in the development version of my OrchestralLily package (also the latex style file) at http://repo.or.cz/w/orchestrallily.git, but everything is still undocumented. > I really appreciate to be able to typeset two-column lyrics on > leadsheets, but for stuff that needs a t.o.c.
