However, when a mix of text and music is involved, I use LilyPond's
rather robust \markup and \markuplist commands, finding lilypond-book
to be too cumbersome or specific.
sometimes I typeset a preface text for a LilyPond document. I use a
markup command that starts XeLaTeX to create a PDF, exports all pages
into EPS-files with pdftops and then imports them as a markuplist.
Sounds complicated, but is actually easy to use.
I assume this set-up doesn't have any notion of page breaks?
So it isn't possible to split the text blocks into multiple parts?.
yes and no: If the text doesn't fit in one block, that is page in the
PDF, it is separated into multiple EPS-file. Those files are then
included in a markup-list.
It would be great if LIlyPond would know where *on the page* the markup
block would start, That way it would be possible to pass that info to
LaTeX (in the form of paper size and geometry info) and create one or
multiple files with the typeset text, which would then just fit onto the
remaining space on the score paper.

Right now it is not possible to have different page sizes per page to
start on the remaining space of one page and then add another full-sized
page.
The width and height of the EPS-markup-blocks is retrieved from the
paper/layout information and then adapted/calculated for the
paper-size/geometry information in the LaTeX-code. Optionally width
and/or height can be set manually via markup-override-command.
Perhaps I will create an OLL-package ...
