 If you count H.Purcells Dido et Æneas for a "full" opera, take a look 
at:

No, nowadays I genereate the eps's (as if I was running ly..-book), then
\input the xx-systems.tex from latex.
 I got fed up of the anonymous lily-.. files and when I started this
lilypond-book didn't handle the dependancies right. Perhaps it does
now.

Have a look at the makefile in:

Cannot answer thoose two right now.
