Thanks for referring to the regression test. This confirms my
assumption, that the PDF bookmarks are only rendered if a
\table-of-contents is present since - as its name states - \tocItem is
semantically different from a PDF bookmark ;-) My further investigation
shows that Lilypond does not offer a command / macro comparable to the
Latex /pdfbookmark command.
So I'm thinking about
- calling \table-of-contents but make it invisible (or worse: print it
as a last page and eventually cut this page off); or
- overriding \table-of-contents so that it doesn't output anything
While having no clue about Scheme and not being able to lead ChatGPT to
a working solution, I’m about to give up — unless someone here knows a
simple fix off the top of their head.
Best regards
Stephan

I would expect the following code to generate PDF bookmarks
independently of a \table-of-contents TOC, so that I can easily jump
from section to section when reading the sheet in my score reader
(MobileSheets i.e.). Unfortunately neither Adobe Reader nor PDF24
Reader show bookmarks.
You can find a complete example as a regression test:

Using `evince` (on GNU/Linux), I can view the PDF bookmarks just fine.
