Re: Update on my question re. lilypond-book.

[Mats Bengtsson]

Why not run lilypond-book on the main file of the document?
The reason that lilypond-book wants the heading with documentclass,
is that it needs to figure out the page layout of the document.
Currently, this is done by running LaTeX on a dummy document with a
a copy of the heading of the original document but an empty body.
