Re: "\includepdf" in LilyPond

[Urs Liska]

OK,

I've got several replies which mostly went into the same direction: it's 
not worth the hassle forcing LilyPond to take control over the LaTeX 
generation. Generally it's much easier to have either LaTeX control the 
compilation of a volume or directly generate building blocks 
independently and joing them afterwards.

However, my incentive was that I wanted to create title pages (i.e. 
exactly 1 page) and would prefer doing that from within my Frescobaldi 
working environment. So maybe a compromise would be to have an external 
script doing the non-engraving work but trigger it from either within 
Frescobaldi or LilyPond.

I can experiment with Frescobaldi snippets to first run LilyPond and the 
LaTeX and/or pdftk.

OTOH: is it possible to have LilyPond trigger an external program 
*after* the PDF has been created? I recall getting an answer for a hook 
that works at the very end of the engraving process (this should allow 
me to write out data into a log file that has only been generated during 
the after-line-breaking stage). Is there such a hook to execute after 
the PDF has been written?

Best
