Creating multi-score books

[Don Gingrich]

I've got a basic problem, and I'm not having much
joy with the documentation.

Over the past few years I've created several scores
for folk songs. 

Now, I'm going to be doing a workshop discussing
their origins.

What I'd like to create is:

<title page in TeX>

<text page discussing song 1 in TeX>

<score of song one in ly >

<text page discussing song 2 in TeX>

<score of song 2 in ly >

and so on

I'm probably more familiar with LaTeX than
LilyPond, so I'd really prefer to do the cover
page and discussion in TeX and the scores
in LilyPond.

Note that some of the scores were originally 
entered using MuseScore and the converted
using xml2ly -- so the LilyPond code is *ugly*
but works as a standalone score. In my copious
free time I'd like to shift these converted scores
into clean code, but it's in the "if it ain't broke....."
category unless the converted stuff is likely to be
 breaking things.

My minimal example winds up being several hundred
lines, so I've not included it. 

I tried this:

\header {
  title = "Eight miniatures"
  composer = "Igor Stravinsky"
}
\score {
  …
  \header { piece = "Romanze" }
}
\markup {
   …text of second verse…
}
\markup {
   …text of third verse…
}
\score {
  …
  \header { piece = "Menuetto" }
}

With including the score files and it
did not work.

I tried this first:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\begin{document}

Documents for \verb+lilypond-book+ may freely mix music and text.
For example,

Options are put in brackets.

Larger examples can be put into a separate file, and introduced with
\verb+\lilypondfile+.

\lilypondfile[quote,noindent]{MyFileName.ly}

(If needed, replace @file{screech-and-boink.ly} by any @file{.ly} file
you put in the same directory as this file.)

\end{document}

And all that I got was the filename printed where the score should
have been.

I also looked at the thread titled:
"Problem with lilypond-book and \markup blocks" from 2007
But when I tried to add a header after the \score{ -- e.g.
\score {
 \header{
 title = "some silly thing"
   composer = "Not Mozart"
    }
    {
        <<

The title and composer disappeared into the ether -- clearly
the method here only works for snippets, not full or multi-page
scores.

I keep banging at this and getting nowhere.


As putting a bunch of individual scores together into a book may
be a more or less common task, a good template would be brilliant
and potentially useful for others

Thanks,

-Don
