It does not know anything about system/staff spacing so your songbook will eventually look like crap. I am in search as well. In search of a good way to combine mostly notation, spanning multiple pages in one piece, and adding editorial notes, introduction, a text chapter or subtext here and there. But it does not work with lilypond book. Maybe the right way is to export to a scalable format (svg, ps) with border size zero, without page numbers, footers, copyright notice and all that and embed those pure-notation pages into a text canvas. This way you get at least correct staff spacing and page breaks where you wanted them. And you can work and edit in pure Lilypond for a good preview and work enviroment without worrying that your layout changes once you add the "book" parts.
