Combining roughly 70 separate files into a single book

Hi all,

I'm looking for some general advice on how to combine about 70 files into one, to turn multiple files into a single PDF.

Over the past two years or so I've been typesetting a collection of organ pieces for a friend. After doing the first few I created a template that I subsequently used to set the rest, adding to it as I went along whenever new problems presented themselves. Now the collection is finished and I need to put them all together, and I'm just wondering about the easiest way to go about it. 

Most of the Lilypond files contain multiple \score blocks (usually 2 or 3) and the variables in each file all have the same names. I've attached a typical file to give an idea of what I'm dealing with (plus the file with my macros, for convenience).

So I have about 70 files like this. How should I go about putting everything together? Can I do an 'include' for every file somehow? Or do I need to rename all the variables in each separate file to do that? I've never done this before, so would really appreciate being steered in the right direction to avoid having to reinvent the wheel.

Many thanks,

Brent.
