Greetings;

I'm looking for a way to produce Table of Contents entries, Index entries, and song numbers for songs in a song book. In Lilypond 2.2, I replaced the the LaTeX titling definitions to suit my needs, but that doesn't seem to be an option with 2.6. Short of hacking scheme in some nonstandard way, it's not obvious to me how to proceed. I'd like to avoid non-standard approaches, since they're likely to break with the next version of Lilypond.

Ideally, I'd like to have lilypond not set the titles directly -- just write a LaTeX snippet defining the relevant portions. That way I can rely on LaTeX's excellent features. TOC entries and index entries are relatively simple to manage. The most difficult issue will be keeping track of song numbers and setting the song number on the right or left depending on whether the song is on a right hand page or left hand page. That's easy to handle if the decision is made by LaTeX. I think it would be impractical to have lilypond attempt that task.

Is that possible to accomplish with the current header handling mechanisms and lilypond-book? What would the rough outline look like?

Thanks.
