Adam,
I haven't followed the thread in depth so sorry for eventual
misconceptions.
So out of curiosity one day I checked out including one of my
pieces as a pdf in a LaTeX document (which i couldn't get happening
in Lilypond-LaTeX but could get happening in LaTeX) and it loaded
way way quicker but as you pointed out to me in a previous post,
you can only include graphics that are 1 page. thus my question
about getting Lilypond to export more than one file for multi-page
pieces.
I assume you have many multiple page pdfs generated by lily, and you
want to recollect them in a global document, like a collection of
pieces, am I right?
In the case LaTeX is not the good choice for complex typography at
all. Just quit it, and so lilypond-book, which is intended mainly for
musicological example. LaTeX still remains focused on scientific
publications. ConTeXt, which is a much more modern and compact macro-
package for TeX, is the right tool, as it allows you to quickly
control all typographical dimensions. And it is pdf-native.

I've finished last night this:
http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/lamine.pdf
Notation is with lily (wow). Global layout with ConTeXt (wow).
In the ConTeXt source I have a \copypage command which allow me to
import (eventually scaled etc) pages from pdf.
e.g.
\copypages[../scores/I.UTF.pdf][scale=1000] % 1000 means 100%
See here for all the possibilities:

More, if you're on macosx with seamlessy integrated pdf support,
everything works in a breeze: e.g IPA support I used in the score
requires TIPA fonts, actually only available for LaTeX. So I prepared
a latex source file, rendered it, and copied and pasted with preview
thus obtaining a pdf. The I included the pdf in ConTeXt.
Hope it helps
Best

PS: ConTeXt has a lilypond module which should allow you to include
lily code. Never tried but it should work
well for now i guess I'll settle with seeing what happens when I
\include more and more pieces.

strongly
recommend you to use lilypond-book.

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
