Comment #5 on issue 4494 by [email protected]: Table Of Contents crash with negative first-page-number

It seems that ghostscript-9.15 rejects negative page number.
Is it necessary that negative page number?

We frequently use -1 as default-value in titling-init.ly like
(chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props -1)

The sense for negative first-page-number:
If you want to start the music on a page with page-number 1, but have a title-page, a second page with table of contents and maybe a third page with some preamble before, you'll set first-page-number to -2 and exclude printing the negative and zero numbers by setting page-headers/footers in bookparts accordingly.

Right now I have no idea how to reach this goal different.
