The purpose of using lilypond-book here is just to stick multiple

Could you please remind me and others on why you could not simply do it
all within a .ly file:
\version "2.6.0"
\paper{
% For version 2.6:
scoreTitleMarkup = \bookTitleMarkup
% For version 2.7:
printallheaders = ##t
}
\include "piece1.ly"
\include "piece2.ly"
...
Now I remember one problem, namely that you have to move all
\header{...}
blocks into the corresponding \score{...} block, otherwise all the
pieces will
get the same title.
Interestingly, I didn't need to do that with 2.7.12 and printallheaders.
But are there any other problems that you solve easier with
lilypond-book?
Yes. The above produces:
collection.pdf (includes piece1, with pages numbered 1 and 2)
collection-1.pdf (includes piece2, with pages numbered 1 and 2 as
well)
(assuming piece1 and 2 are both 2 pages)
Now, I _could_ manually set piece2 to start on page 3, and I could
probably find some command-line tool to stick foo.pdf and foo-1.pdf
together as fooall.pdf (I know pstools can do this with ps files)...
but I found it easier to use lilypond-book.
The automatic page numbering is a bigger issue than sticking pdfs
together. Once I've found the tool (pdftools ?), I can just include
those commands in a script and have it done automatically. But if I
change the order of pieces in a collection, or add an extra page of
text at the beginning or whatever, I'd have to change all the manual
page numbers again.
