All of these (except perhaps the last) are not possible at present with
LilyPond (*) so I have created a way to do this from Denemo.
Attached is a Scheme script which allows you to create a "Book"
comprizing various layouts which the command will combine together as a
final PDF. You have to invoke the command once for each layout you want
to include in the book.
It is quite clunky but I think it is working - if you can test it out
on Windows that would be helpful.

(*) I asked on the LilyPond mailing list

and it is a deep-rooted problem :(
