Ahm, I completely understand a decision NOT to use lilypond-book for this kind
of stuff. Actually, I chose to use pure latex over lilypond-book, simply
because lilypond-book is a PITA to use with latex:
-) It takes two steps to generate the PDF
-) It takes ages to do the pre-processing
-) Latex will be run on a intermediate file, so all latex problems will not
display the correct line number from your input file
-) You can't use any latex IDE (like kile), because of the above points
-) it still does not solve the problem of line breaking INSIDE music examples
-) The image file names cannot be easily deduced. In particular, if you want
to use an image somewhere else, you first need to find the correct file.
-) etc...
I chose to use latex and include the lilypond-generated music snippets
manually (they are generated by a proper make file, so I have no hassle; see
the OrchestralLily-generated make files).
Cheers,
Reinhold
