Re: Resetting page numbers between bookparts

Greetings,

I wish to create a single PDF containing all the parts to my work, instead
of 30-something single PDFs. I would like not to use an external PDF merging
tool since I recompile very often.

This code fails to work since page numbers continue after each page break.

\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "parts"
\bookpart {
\paper {
set-first-page-number = 1
}
\score { ... }
}
% page numbers continue instead of being reset to 1 <--
\bookpart {
paper {
set-first-page-number = 1
}
\score { ... }
}
... % other parts follow
}

There exist external \paper blocks in a different .ily files but they do not
have page numbering code.

I had a look at this a few days ago, but despite all my research and effort, I couldn't get the 'page:page-number property to manually change at all either.

Dev team,

I'm not sure if any of you looked at this, but I think my Scheme-fu is just not quite up to snuff yet. Hopefully I'll get there someday. Is there any logical reason why that property cannot be re-set like bar numbers can?

Best,

Abraham
