Hi David and David,

here is another way that I'm using at the moment. It's still work in
progress and hence far from perfect.  ;-)

I have two different include files (for projection resp. printing) with some
layout settings and things like:
% ------------------------------
% (for projection: Beamer-Def.ily)
VersionIndicator = 1   %  will be used in score definitions
brBeam = {\break}
brPrint = {}
neueFolie = \pageBreak
neueSeite = {}
% ------------------------------
% (for printing: Print-Def.ily)
VersionIndicator = 2
brBeam = {}
brPrint = {\break}
neueFolie = {}
neueSeite = \pageBreak
% ------------------------------

Depending on what definition file is included, one of these commands will
result in a (page) break or simply nothing.
By that, you can manually optimize the layout both for printing and
projection.

For every song I create a ly file. If I want to create a document containing
multiple songs, I just copy the contents subsequently into one file. I just
have to take care that there's only one include statement at the top.

I'll try to attach an example (
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html seems to be somewhat out
of date, so I don't know where this will end up).
Most comments are in German, but I can add English explanations if anybody
is interested.

Hope to help,
Klaus
