I´m quite new to lilypond but I´m already fascinated. I want to layout a whole songbook with about 200 songs. Until now I worked with Sibelius and now I´m thinking of typesetting that songbook with lilypond. But there are some things to consider and I hope you can help me a bit:
1) Should I only work with lilypond or better mit LaTeX and lilypond-book (I already work with LaTeX)? There are not many texts to add to the songbook. I want to have a song number next to each song (on the top outer corner of the page).
2) If I do it without LaTeX, only using lilypond: I think it would be a good way to have one file for each song in the songbook. But there are other problems: The identifiers I use for verselyrics or harmonies have to be unique project-wide, don´t they?
In that case I could try to do it without identifiers - that wouldn´t be a big problem.
At first, these are my question - I think, later there´ll be more ...
