I'm CCing lilypond-bug, because I believe that missing index entries for 
book and bookpart doesn't help when searching this kind of information.

@bugsquad Please add a @cindex for \book and \bookpart

They are introduced in NR 3.1.2 (bookpart) and 3.1.3 (book).

In order to understand what you are doing wrong, you should post a 
minimal example and copy the error message.

I remember I had problems with bookpart when I started using lilypond:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-08/msg00835.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-08/msg00856.html

Since then I've never used bookpart anymore, now I just use a main file 
which include the \score(s) defined in separate files.  See attached 
file here:
