Re: Creating a book of pieces?

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Alasdair,

Yes, there is. Placing multiple \score{...} blocks in one file will produce one pdf. Using \book{..} we can split this into multiple pdfs produced from one file.

Title pages can be designed using \markup{...}, but it is also viable to create the title page in some other application and join the pdfs (this might be nescessary if you want to design very intricate pdfs).

Doing a ToC is possible as well, see here:

Cheers,

Valentin
