Hi Tapani!
Two problems:
1. I'm producing a hymnal with 100s of entries. To keep things tidy, those
hymns are in separate .ly files, and I then use lilypond-book to compile
them into one document. To embed every music file in a single (massive) .tex
document is not realistic at this stage of the project.

Well, I agree that it is a good idea to keep the hymns in separate files. TeX knows 
"\input".
But I do not know how much work would it be to edit your scores. It might be an 
easy
automatic process using sed, it might be complicated ...

2. I'm too much of a newbie to understand /how/ your method works. Would you
be able to explain it to me in simple/ish terms, or do I just have to go
away and buy a LaTeX manual and really learn the language properly? OR,
alternatively, can I just insert the \newcount commands into my preamble and
use the \def\callback[etc.] argument in the document?
I prepared a somewhat commented version of hymex.tex. Having a LaTex manual
as well as the TeXbook is always a good idea.

cu,
 Knut

%
% Define the lilyhead, lilytail and lilyfrag environments.
%
% The lilyhead environment has no arguments. Lilypond code put inside of a lilyhead
% environment will be written to the \tmpNameHead file.
%
% The lilytail environment has no arguments. Lilypond code put inside of a lilytail
% environment will be written to the \tmpNameTail file.
%
% The lilyfrag environment has two arguments, the page width and the page height
% to be used by lilypond. Both argument must be given, both must be a number followed
% by a space followed by a unit:
%
%   valid example :   \begin{lilyfrag}{9.85 cm}{21 cm}
%
%   invalid examples: \begin{lilyfrag}{9.85 cm}{21cm}
%                     \begin{lilyfrag}{9.85cm}{21 cm}
%                     \begin{lilyfrag}{}{}
%
% You are free to put anything you like into the lilyhead, lilyfrag and lilytail environments,
% of course it must be valid lilypond code. lilyhead and lilytail might be used to define
% an empty file, but they both must be used once prior to any use of lilyfrag.
%
% You might use \definepaper inside of the lilypond code: The paper definition constructet
% from the lilyfrag arguments will be included at that place. If it is used,
% \definepaper must be put without anything else on a single line, even a single space will break the code.
% The same is true for \end{lilyhead} \end{lilfrag} and \end{lilytail}: These commands must
% be put without anything else on a single line, even a single space will break the code.
%
% Whenever a lilyfrag environment is processed, it
%  - writes a lilypond paper-alist definition constructed from the two arguments
%    to the file given by the definition of \tmpNamePaper above.
%  - writes a command to include the \tmpNameHead file to the \tmpNameMain file
%  - writes the contents of the lilyfrag environment to the \tmpNameMain file
%  - writes a command to include the \tmpNameTail file to the \tmpNameMain file
%  - executes \lilycommand \tmpNameMain
%  - moves the pdfs created by lilypond to \tmpFragPrefix\the\fragcount-\the\fragpagenum.pdf files
%  - exectutes the mypdpfcrop script to crop these files
%  - and includes these file (\tmpFragPrefix\the\fragcount-\the\fragpagenum-crop.pdf) using
%    includegraphics.

2. O Erd, schlag aus, schlag aus, o Erd,~/~%
daß Berg und Tal grün alles werd.~/~%
O Erd, herfür dies Blümlein bring,~/~%
o Heiland, aus der Erden spring.

4. Wo bleibst Du, Trost\testmarg\ der ganzen Welt,~/~%
darauf sie all ihr Hoffnung stellt?~/~%
O komm, ach komm vom höchsten Saal,~/~%
komm, tröst uns hier im Jammertal.

6. Hier leiden wir die größte Not,~/~%
vor Augen steht der ewig Tod.~/~%
Ach komm, führ uns mit starker Hand~/~%
vom Elend zu dem\testmarg\ Vaterland.

7. Da wollen wir all danken dir,~/~%
unserm Erlöser, für und für;~/~%
da wollen wir all loben dich~/~%
zu aller Zeit und ewiglich.
