Re: [fr: barres de notes dans un triolet] The best way to create a songbook?

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

FWIW, I assemble my song books using ghostscript.  I create batch jobs that
compile all the songs into separate PDF's, I make table of contents, index,
texts, etc. in the word processor of my choice and print those pages to PDF
file(s).  Certain educational pages I also make in my word processor by
importing "clips" (see -dclip-systems option) into the documents from
lilypond compiles of the full scores.  Once all the PDF's are made, I run gs
to assemble all of them into a book.  I know this might not be the standard
procedure, but it gives me a lot of flexibility in what tools I can avail
myself of in making a book, since any application can "print to PDF" and gs
lets me concatenate pdfs easily.  At the end of my batch job a single
complete PDF is produced that I can take to the print shop.  For a couple of
the books I output 2 files, one for the color printer and another for the
b/w printer and collate/bind the pages manually.  Some some pages I've used
Photoshop to incorparate photos of jazz musicians amongst their scores.  All
with pdf being the common denominator prior to gs concatenating things to a
single pdf.
