Graham, thanks for the reply.  I was thinking that would be something like 
your answer.  A while back I created a liturgy booklet using OpenOffice 
with PNGs inserted where I needed to.  In OO I was able to shrink the 
lilypond pieces as necessary to fit them in.  Having tweaked my lilypond 
files the way I want them, would this also not be a reasonable way to do 
the job, and also include other graphics as necessary?  Especially for 
non-geeks like myself?  (Perhaps objectionable only to the Lily purists 
:-)

Blessings,

Fr. Gordon Gilbert
