I'm looking into getting a large format printer so I can print parts on tabloid paper.  As such, I'm looking for a way to create the pdfs necessary for doing the booklet layout.

Currently, the only way I know to to prepare such layouts, with two pages per spread and in an order like 4 1 | 2 3, is to use another tool, like InDesign.

I was hoping for something more organic to lilypond, that is text- and command line-based.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a workflow to accomplish this, or what tools to look at?

Surely pdftk.
I don't have experience with it but pdfnup should be a thing.
Or use LaTeX, if you have more complex set-ups anyway (http://www.mostlymaths.net/2008/09/latex-booklets.html)
