Is it possible to switch of pagination completely, and rely on manual breaks? To put this in context, I'm compling a book of folk tunes. These tend to be 2-4 (very rarely more) lines long. I'd like them in alphabetical order, but with individual tunes not split over pages, and wouldn't mind a layout rather more cramped than Lilypond usually likes. As it is, even with minimal page breaking, I end up shuffling tunes around to improve the layout
Are you sure you don’t want to use lilypond-book (i.e. LaTeX) or an other program to do your layout?
I typeset my songbooklets with ConTeXt, and I take it for granted that there’s no perfect and automatical solution for page layout, esp. if lots of graphics (or tunes) are involved.
My TeX workflow allows for re-compiling only changed tunes, and you get a ToC for free. (But stuffing several small songs on a double page or patching remaining white space with pictures is sometimes a pain...)
