A few comments:

LaTeX margins for lilypond-book:
Packages work just fine.  This is what I use for all my lilypond-book  
scores
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{book}
\usepackage[lmargin=15mm,rmargin=15mm,tmargin=10mm,bmargin=5mm,nofoot,no 
head]{geometry}

Make sure you run the "texsetup" or "texconfig" and set the dvips paper  
size to "letterpaper".  For some reason it defaults to A4 -- even when  
you specify "letterpaper" in your .latex (or .lytex) file.  :(


I don't have to read through the rest in detail now, but many of these  
could be added to the manual.  If somebody has some time, they could  
tell me exactly what to add where, and it could be done before this  
weekend.  Alternately, it could wait until I have time (say,  
mid-April).  :)
