I wrote a blog post about my experience making a LaTex/Lilypond
songbook using \includepdf (with help from Urs).

I'm hoping the next person who searches the mailing list for
songbook-making finds this.
Terminological and any other corrections are welcome.
I'll try
Now that's what I call a good investment :-)
I spent very little time on your case, and in return we get a very
valuable resource!
I will send you a few comments with private mail later, but thank you

A priori, I would say that changing margins are **not** a good
idea... but since professional typesetters do it, and I never
noticed myself in 25 years of music-playing, I have to admit that
maybe it's a good idea.
