Adam, I haven't followed the thread in depth so sorry for eventual misconceptions.
I assume you have many multiple page pdfs generated by lily, and you want to recollect them in a global document, like a collection of pieces, am I right? In the case LaTeX is not the good choice for complex typography at all. Just quit it, and so lilypond-book, which is intended mainly for musicological example. LaTeX still remains focused on scientific publications. ConTeXt, which is a much more modern and compact macro-package for TeX, is the right tool, as it allows you to quickly control all typographical dimensions. And it is pdf-native. I've finished last night this: Notation is with lily (wow). Global layout with ConTeXt (wow). In the ConTeXt source I have a \copypage command which allow me to import (eventually scaled etc) pages from pdf. e.g. \copypages[../scores/I.UTF.pdf][scale=1000] % 1000 means 100% See here for all the possibilities: More, if you're on macosx with seamlessy integrated pdf support, everything works in a breeze: e.g IPA support I used in the score requires TIPA fonts, actually only available for LaTeX. So I prepared a latex source file, rendered it, and copied and pasted with preview thus obtaining a pdf. The I included the pdf in ConTeXt. Hope it helps Best -a- PS: ConTeXt has a lilypond module which should allow you to include lily code. Never tried but it should work

Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information. (Annabel Chong) |
