Re: page formatting and lilypond-book

[Mats Bengtsson]

Lilypond-book detects what line-width is used in the LaTeX document, 
and applies it to the included scores, so in general you should not 
have any \paper in the ly files. If you want to do such settings and 
have lilypond-book respect them, then you could try adding a \book{...} 
block around your current contents of the .ly file. Then, also the page 
breaks will be determined by LilyPond, whereas it otherwise is LaTeX 
that determines the page breaks when using lilypond-book.
