Re: Possibly silly question but…
Hugh, You might want to look at the lyluatex package for LaTeX. It allows you to include LilyPond snippets in a LaTeX document processed with lualatex.I've used it to prepare a collection of Barbershop tags. LilyPond creates PDF files for each tag. LaTex handles the layout and prepares the indexes. I see there is also a lilyglyphs package available on CTAN that also might be useful for you. David Bowen On Fri, Nov 13, 2020 at 7:26 PM Hugh S.

Re: Configuring home/bin PATH directory
What OS are you using? For Linux your $PATH is usually set in one of the shell . files, for Windows it is set in ControlPanel\System.

Re: vars and multiple scores
Klaus, Have you considered the possibility of making each song its own file and then using lylualatex to build the songbook. I'm using that workflow to create a collection of barbershop tags, where the tags run about two or three lines. I have a lilypond template for tags that defines standard names for note and lyric variables and having one tag per file eliminates conflicts between tags. Using lylualatex makes it easy to generate indexes and also to rearrange tags if I need to move things around to improve the spacing on a page.

Re: vars and multiple scores
Klaus,
Attached are a simplified LaTeX file and the two Lilypond files it
references. Barbershop harmony is for unaccompanied voices, so there's no
piano part or chord symbols, but from what you've written, I gather that
seeing how the lilypond gets included in the LaTeX is what interests you.

Re: Using \lyricsto for small variation in repeats to match lyrics
I use LilyPond for barbershop quartet music. The barbershop style is mostly
homophonic, but there are frequent spots where one or more parts will need
their own lyrics for a measure or two. I use the split voice approach
mentioned above to handle those spots and it works well. For example
