Let's see if I can explain it in an easy way. First, go to Carte ->
Editer/Créer une carte. The dialog for referencing a TIFF file (and only
TIFF files, so convert them to that format before proceeding) will open on
the right part of QLGT's interface.

First, open the .tiff file "Ouvrir un fichier". Then, configure the
"Projection de la carte" (that is, the coordinate/projection system
coordinates on the TIFF file are defined for). For example, for the usual
paper maps in Spain, it is "UTM zone 30 North, Datum European_1950).

I understand the "Projection de référence" is the projection/datum on the
resulting file. Use whatever fits you best. If you are going to stich
several files together, use always the same for every fragment.

In Mode you have to select how many point to provide QLGT for it to
referenciate the image. For square pixel and coordinates very precise on
the map, "pixels carré (2 points)" should be enough. Step 1 should be done.

Next on to step 2: provide the (two in the example) points to use to
reference the image. Click "ajouter une référence", and an orange marker
will show centered on the map viewport, and an entry added to the step 2
list. Move and zoom the map until you see at an adequate zoom level one of
the points with known coordinates, and right click on the map. Take note of
the "Pixel" coordinates, and edit the list entry to make x and y match the
pixel coordinates (double click each field to edit).

Then input the map coordinates double clicking on the Coord. field for the
point besides the big green number 2. Help icon on the right shows the
different coordinate formats you can use (omit the double quotes). Repeat
for the second point in the map with known coordinates. When finished,
click "Converti!" and wait for the process to end (see the bottom progress
messages from "gdal"). A "Fichier de sortie" would have been created as a
result, as a georeferenced version of the original file.

To check if the process was done right and coordinates on the maps
correctly entered, load some GPS data on top of the map, and see if it
matches the map. If not, something was not ok along the way.

The easiest way would be to georeference all your partial maps as shown
above, and then create a QMAP out of them, to show all at the same time, at
the same zoom levels. A QMAP is a collection of maps to show at different
zoom levels: for your case, you would have to create one with, for every
zoom level, shows every maps you want to include in the set.

So "Carte -> Editer/Créer une carte" again, but this time choose "Créer une
carte à partir des fichiers existant géoréférencé". Create a new file name,
give it a descriptive comment, and "ajouter" all files at the same zoom
levels, for example at zooms 1-256. "Sauvegarder" changes, and that's it
(it's easier to understand looking at the interface than explaining).

Just make sure all georeferenced files are using the exact same
projection/datum , or else the QMAP will not be created.

Hope this helps.
