Thanks, Jean and Kieren
Okay. I did that and when I move the \paper (yes, my bad, I did write
\page) into the \bookpart it generates a separate PDF for each
\bookpart, which I think kind of defeats the purpose of a \bookpart.
Here is a slightly convoluted example of my input by way of example (in
reality these elements are spread over different files and included to
create the output). I can get around this with externally by combining the
PDFs, but I wonder if there is something I’m doing wrong here
—
\version "2.24"
tune-hdr = \header {
title = "Foo Bar"
composer = "Whoisit"
}
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key d \minor
\time 4/4
a2 bes4 c | d2 ees8 c d bes |
}
tune = \score {
\new Staff \melody
}
page-one = \paper {
page-count = 1
}
song-one = \bookpart {
\page-one
\tocItem \markup "Song One"
\tune-hdr
\tune
}
song-two = \bookpart {
\page-one
\tocItem \markup "Song Two"
\tune-hdr
\tune
}
\markuplist \table-of-contents
\pageBreak
\song-one
\song-two

Thanks again!
