Hi all, I don't know if it's useful to anyone, but a collection of the most common Public Domain Christmas carols in a booklet form is at http://blog.daveg.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Christmas_Carol_Booklet.pdf
It's printed on legal-size paper, and if you put adjacent pages (1 & 2, 3 & 4, etc) on opposite sides of the page makes everything in the correct order. Just so's you know what I did, here it is: 1. Compile each song in the normal manner to produce the song in PDF format. 2. Compile with the following to produce a PNG lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts --png myfile.ly 3. In an OpenOffice document, set up the page size, two columns, etc 4. Make all the pages you want, and put the correct page numbers on the page 5. I also made my table of contents in the order I wished, so I could refer to it as I installed the PNGs 6. Load the PNG on the desired page. Immediately make it "wrap through". (This makes your filling of the document much easier.) Then re-size -- usually just cutting off a bit of the bottom of the page will do. 7. Do the same for each song in order. I realise that PNGs are not the best, but since these were being shrunk from original size, it doesn't seem to be a problem. Also, font-size is not totally uniform. But with relatively little work, and without a lot of geeky moves, I have a booklet that is now highly configurable. For those of you who do -- have a blessed Christmas. Gordon+ -- Fr.
