Re: Assembling individual scores into a book
Actually, I believe you can do something like
\includepdf[trim=0 20mm 0 0, clip, ...]{...}
to cut off 20mm from the bottom.
Depending on where you place your page numbers in the scores, this can
enable you to cut them off when including the pages in your book.

E.g., if you were relying on a piece to start on an odd page

end up having to insert a blank page in order to preserve your
intended page turn. For large books this can become onerous to
manage.
I'm hoping someone can enlighten me with a better way.
thanks.

Re: Assembling individual scores into a book
I had the same challenge recently. See the attached. The individual parts
are in a "/parts" directory.
The "book.ly" file assembles the parts into a book with TOC.
I've also attached a simple script (assemble_book) to generate the book.ly
file (unix bash).
I am a newb with lilypond, so I'm sure there's a better and more natively
lilypond-ish way to accomplish this. I hope someone else will chime in.
