Apologies for replying so late, but another option is using PDFLaTeX
and the pdfpages package to include the PDFs made my Lilypond.
This combination can take care of title pages, table of contents, page
numbering, indexing, etc. For print, cover pages are usually produced
separately as far as I know.
I used this to typeset a song book for my choir.

Re: problem with horizontal shift of note
Tom Cloyd wrote:
...
Well, I'm really really stuck.
I tried renaming \voiceTwo to \voiceThree: I got an explosion of "too
many clashing note columns" warnings, and NO change in my note collision

I tried sticking \shiftOn in various places in the program - beginning
of the voice, beginning of the measure, other places. No effect.
I have tried putting getting either in b in the upper voice or the a in
the lower voice to shift - I want the b to go to the right. Nothing
moves.
No matter what I do - no note shift. My current version of measure 15 is:
\shiftOn
a-1 ^"[2*]" \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #2.0 b |
The b is still colliding with the a in the lower voice.
Any ideas?
I recommend you to read Section 3.2 "Voices contain music" of the
Learning Manual included in the LilyPond documentation for the latest
version, especially subsection 3.2.2.
Applying the ideas described there, to measure 15 of tenor voice of your
example, would lead to
<<
\new Voice {\voiceFour < e-1 >2 < a-1 >4 g |}
{ < c,-2 a-4\6 >2 < d g,-2 >} |
>>
which gives the desired note shift and no warnings.

Tremolo functions
I made two tremolo utility functions today which may be of interest to
some here. Before adding them to LSR I just want a few people to take
a look at them.
\tremolos #16 {c4 d8 e f g a4 b c2}
expands to
\repeat tremolo 4 c16
\repeat tremolo 2 d16
\repeat tremolo 2 e16
\repeat tremolo 2 f16
\repeat tremolo 2 g16
\repeat tremolo 4 a16
\repeat tremolo 4 b16
\repeat tremolo 8 c16
See the attached excerpt from Beethoven Symphony No.3 for an example use case.
The other is simply \unfoldTremolos. I usually use the midi to check
for errors I don't want to unfold the volta repeats, but not unfolding
tremolos sounds strange. \unfoldTremolos does just what it says.
Enjoy!

Guessing whether something is a filename or not is a really bad idea, and can lead to very surprising behaviour. The accepted behaviour - that spaces separate command-line arguments except when escaped or when the whole argument is enclosed in quotes - is simple, consistent, and offers few opportunities to accidentally delete all your files. > There is a new revision of Bash out in the past few weeks, which > perhaps gets around this.

After 3 months away from Lilypond, I'm back, thankfully. All

I cannot get a horizontal shift of a note, resulting in an ugly

columns" warnings I keep getting. I dimly recall someone telling me
what to do with that, but it's long gone from my memory, and in any
case hasn't been a problem (that I'm aware of). My score is, and
has been, working well. This is an old problem I'm trying to fix
tonight.
At the risk of overload, I'll include the full program and CLI
output, the latter first:
I haven't begun to compile your score, but I see something (that I've
corrected a lot of in the past weeks).
You have, essentially:
\version "2.12.2"
vOne = \relative c'' \new Voice {
\voiceOne
c d a c
d e d c
}
vTwo = \relative c'' \new Voice {
\voiceTwo
a g f a
%% The following two lines are equivalent
<<{b c a a}\\{a g g f}>>
% <<\new Voice = voiceOne {\voiceOne b c a a } \new Voice = voiceTwo
{\voiceTwo a g g f } >> \oneVoice
}
\score {\new Staff <<\vOne \vTwo>>}
You'll notice here that in vTwo, there is a section that puts music
in voiceOne, which already has music, that'll cause collisions. You
may want to change to voiceFour, and then do your manual note
shifting using:
vTwoFour = \relative c'' \new Voice {
\voiceTwo
a g f a
<<{b c a a}\new Voice = vFour { \voiceFour \shiftOn a \shiftOff g
\shiftOn g \shiftOff f}>>\oneVoice
