Lilypond-book and LaTeX; a few issues

I am using lilypond-book (with LaTeX) to collect several different lilypond files into one nice document - with title page, table of contents, and an introduction.  However, the music never comes out properly on the page.  Using lilypond on a single file, the music is nicely laid out, appropriate space between the systems, and the first system (there are only two staves - it's a collection of duets) indented for the instrument names.

However, the same music in lilypond-book comes out either moved partly off the page, or on the page but with huge margins - and the first system not indented, but with the instrument names set to its left.  (This accounts for the huge margin - there is white space beneath the instrument names for the rest of the page).  Also, the systems are more crowded vertically then they are in plain lilypond.

Clearly I need to do some fiddling to make lilypond's page formatter, and LaTeX's page formatter, go well together.  Can anybody give me some advice on this?

Thanks very much,
Alasdair
