Greetings,

I don't think this is possible unfortunately; however it is now
possible to print an entire book (text and music) using only LilyPond.
Rather than having multiples PDF files, you just have to have one
"master" .ly file with a \book block, and in this block you can insert
every \score block that represents your themes and scores.  Between
these \score blocks, you can insert text using \markup or \markuplines
command. Have a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Multiple-scores-in-a-book
and
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Multi_002dpage-markup

if you're interested.

Cheers,
Valentin
