Re: making a book with LilyPond

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello Frederico,

you can use \bookpart :

\book {
   \bookpart{
      \tocItem ...
       \header {
         title = ...
       }
   }
   \bookpart{
      \tocItem ...
       \header {
         title = ...
       }
   }
}

If you surround every piece with a bookpart-statement, you dont need to 
pagebreak.
My mobile INet-Connection is quite slow right now, so you have to google 
to find the right page in the docs.
Or someone else has a pointer ;)

I hope it helps!
regards,
Jan-Peter
