Thanks to all for the tips. I did not think of using lilypond-book for
a complete score sice I used it only for snippets in the text. I will

Apart from layout and co. I am also curious if anyone has experience
in making printer proofs and printing lilypond output with high res
offset printers, ad this will likley be the publisher's output.
