Thanks for the suggestions, David & Dmytro.
Have never worked with postscript. Will try that and pdflatex too.
Agreed, scripting will be useful for repeated jobs.
Perhaps we could create a latex document with an appropriate layout,
and embed lilypond within the columns. Anyways, still something like
"Columns = 3" in the score header will be sweet :)

Multi-Column layout! I need that too.
This is how I did this score (3 Columns)- http://www.twitpic.com/

1. Calculate the width (and height?) of each column; set the page
size accordingly. (page width = column width)
2. Run LilyPond, output the score as PNGs.
3. Tailor PNGs. ImageMagick comes handy for this.
Ugh. Create Postscript, then use psnup or similar to put multiple pages
to one. If needed, follow up with pstopdf.
Ananth, if it's acceptable, try pdfpages/pdflatex, which can put pdf pages
(produced by lilypond) in proper positions, put page numbers etc-etc. It's
syntax far more readable then psnup's one .)
And yes, this will b "scriptable".
