I assume this set-up doesn't have any notion of page breaks?
So it isn't possible to split the text blocks into multiple parts?.

It would be great if LIlyPond would know where *on the page* the markup 
block would start, That way it would be possible to pass that info to 
LaTeX (in the form of paper size and geometry info) and create one or 
multiple files with the typeset text, which would then just fit onto the 
remaining space on the score paper.
