I'm having trouble following this discussion of lilypond-book being
slow -- I've just been putting together a 110 page book of Dowland
parts (so about 80 individual 1-2 page "pieces" from lilypond's point
of view), and I was pleasantly surprised at how fast lilypond-book
would recreate all the .ly files. I'm not saying I didn't go get a
cup of coffee when I had to redo all 80, but I certainly didn't need
to do it overnight or anything. 2.10 is definitely a lot faster than
2.0 was.

There are utilities that will extract pages from a pdf file. I've
used pdfnup for that purpose. Probably even better developed and
tested are the postscript utilities like psselect, although I don't
know whether using those on lilypond's postscript output will produce
something latex can deal with.
