I do something equivalent, producing a book with pages in A5 format (with 4
pages on an A4 sheet).
I produce a .dvi file (with abc2mtex, musixtex and tex) and then :
dvips -h reli.ps -f < book.dvi | psbook | psnup -2 -q -d -b10 >$TMPDIR/book.ps
psbook and psnup are parts of the package psutils
reli.ps is this :
% reli.ps
%
% Use with dvips -h reli.ps
%
% Positionne le cote de la reliure comme etant le PETIT cote.
