 I want to layout a whole songbook with about 
200 songs. Until now I worked with Sibelius and now I´m
 thinking of typesetting that songbook with 
lilypond. But there are some things to consider and I hop
e you can help me a bit:
> 1) Should I only work with lilypond or better mit LaTeX
 and lilypond-book (I already work with LaTeX)? 
There are not many texts to add to the songbook.I want
 to have a song number next to each song (on the 
top outer corner of the page).
> 2) If I do it without LaTeX, only using lilypond: I think
 it would be a good way to have one file for each 
song in the songbook. But there are other problems:
 The identifiers I use for verselyrics or harmonies have 
to be unique project-wide, don´t they?
> In that case I could try to do it without identifiers -
 that wouldn´t be a big problem.At first, these are 
my question - I think, later there´ll be more ...Thankstabster

Hi Dominic,

I am working on a book of tunes using LaTeX and Lilypond-book.
 It is very handy having all the features like table of contents, fancy
 headers etc. Adding a large number of tunes at once is slow,
 as there is a limit on how many new lilypond fragments will be
 rendered in one go.
