Any help is appreciated > > dario > Hi, Dario - Please take a look at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/multiple-scores-in-a-book in the Notation Reference. There, you can see how \bookpart can be used to include the individual exercises, with text (using \markup, and represented by the ellipsis (the ... ) on the line after the score. I haven't ever put long text entries between \score s, but here's the structure I've used successfully with fiddle tunes: %%%%%%% \version "2.19.81" \language "english" \include "*GlobalSettings*.ily" % my file with global \paper, \layout, and font size settings \include "*tune1*".ly \include "*tune2*".ly \include "*tune3*".ly %%%%% I don't know why I put this \paper here, rather than in \ *GlobalSettings*.ly. I think there was a reason, but I can't remember it %%%%%% \paper { scoreTitleMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { { \column { \fromproperty #'header:title %\fromproperty #'header:poet } { \fromproperty #'header:composer } } } } } \book { % Title of set. \header { subtitle = \markup { \fontsize #4 "*Title of Collection*"} } % Tune 1 % This first tune has melody and harmony. \score { \new GrandStaff << \new Staff \relative c' { \clef alto \*tuneOne* } \relative c' { \clef alto \new Staff \*tuneOneHarmony* } >> \layout { indent = #0 \context { %prevent tunes from printing on two pages \override NonMusicalPaperColumn.page-break-permission = ##f } } % Title and meter of this tune. \header { title = \markup \large \bold "*Tune 1*" composer = \markup \bold "*Composer 1*" } } \noPageBreak \markup \fill-line { " " } % I used this for source and copyright information. %%%% additional \markup can go here % Tune 2 \score { \relative c' { \clef alto { \*tuneTwo* } } \layout { indent = #0 \context { %prevent tunes from printing on two pages \override NonMusicalPaperColumn.page-break-permission = ##f } } % Title and meter of this tune. \header { title = \markup \large \bold "*Tune 2*" composer = \markup \bold "*Composer 2*" } } \noPageBreak \markup \fill-line { " " } % I used this for source and copyright information. %%%% additional \markup can go here % Tune 3 \score { \relative c' { \clef alto { \*tuneThree* } } \layout { indent = #0 \context { %prevent tunes from printing on two pages \override NonMusicalPaperColumn.page-break-permission = ##f } } % Title and meter of this tune. \header { title = \markup \large \bold "*Tune 3*" composer = \markup \bold "*Composer 3*" } } \noPageBreak \markup \fill-line { " " } % I used this for source and copyright information. %%%% additional \markup can go here } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I'm pretty sure I've closed all the {}s, and not put in any extra }s, but I'm not positive. Let me know if you have any other questions. I have the \layout {...} entry in both the *GlobalSettings*.ily and in the individual files; I'm not sure that's necessary, but I seem to recall having a problem when I omitted that entry from the individual files. Regarding text between the tunes, or exercises in your case, I have minimal experience, and someone else might be able to give you better advice.
