This is a really nice solution to compiling multiple movements, thanks!
One thing I noticed is that you get warnings about zero duration scores
when compiling less than the full piece. To avoid this, you could add a
spacer rest to your EmptyBookpart variable like this:
EmptyBookpart = { s4 }
That gets rid of the warnings, but it also creates little scores with just
a clef and time signature. It's a trade-off. Personally, I don't want
spurious warnings in my LilyPond log, so I choose the spacer rest solution.
