OK,
I've got several replies which mostly went into the same direction: it's
not worth the hassle forcing LilyPond to take control over the LaTeX
generation. Generally it's much easier to have either LaTeX control the
compilation of a volume or directly generate building blocks
independently and joing them afterwards.
However, my incentive was that I wanted to create title pages (i.e.
exactly 1 page) and would prefer doing that from within my Frescobaldi
working environment. So maybe a compromise would be to have an external
script doing the non-engraving work but trigger it from either within
Frescobaldi or LilyPond.
I can experiment with Frescobaldi snippets to first run LilyPond and the
LaTeX and/or pdftk.
OTOH: is it possible to have LilyPond trigger an external program
*after* the PDF has been created? I recall getting an answer for a hook
that works at the very end of the engraving process (this should allow
me to write out data into a log file that has only been generated during
the after-line-breaking stage). Is there such a hook to execute after
the PDF has been written?

Hi all,
would it be possible (or did anyone already do something like this) to
include whole PDF pages between bookparts?
I'm thinking of a way to combine title pages and/or prefattory matter
with scores and use LaTeX to create the text parts but do it from the
LilyPond compilation.
In the infrastructure I'd want to do that I'm creating the bookparts
manually, i.e. not thorugh top-level \bookpart {} but thorugh
ly:book-add-bookpart! and similar functions, so I might have better
control over the process than with "simple" LilyPond files.
Any ideas?
Or should I simply step back and do it from the LaTeX side of things?
