Re: Score identifier not working in book block

[Mats Bengtsson]

Also, if you only have a single \book block in your
file, you can just as well remove it, since LilyPond
will implicitly add a \book{...} around each input
file if it isn't there explicitly.

The only reason to use \book is if you want several output
PDF files from one and the same .ly file, since each \book
block will correspond to one output file.
