Also for page numbering my batch script updates a common page number include
file that the next song simply includes.  This file contains nothing more
than:

\firstPageNumber = #42

the variable \firstPageNumber is referenced by the scores, the batch job
just updates the #number value for the starting point of the next song
compile.

Also all songs are based on a common shared template that keeps the overall
style strictly enforced.
