Thank you very much. I already use multiple score blocks for different
movements; each movement has its own heading, time signature etc. So I get
a single file from multiple score blocks. But these multiple blocks form
suites, and I want the book to refer to the suites, rather than their
individual movements.
That is, the contents page might have
Suite 1 ... 3
Suite 2 ... 14
and so on for the pages for each suite. But Suite 1 itself (and all the
others) is built from the score blocks: Overture, Allemande, Bourree,
Menuet, Gavotte, Gigue (for example). Maybe LaTeX will in fact be my best
bet?
cheers,
Alasdair

Hello Alasdair,
Yes, there is. Placing multiple \score{...} blocks in one file will produce
one pdf. Using \book{..} we can split this into multiple pdfs produced from
one file.
Title pages can be designed using \markup{...}, but it is also viable to
create the title page in some other application and join the pdfs (this
might be nescessary if you want to design very intricate pdfs).
Doing a ToC is possible as well, see here:
