The OP, in the mail to bug, said:

"So my request is : is it possible to include an option to tell Lilypond to 
print
two pages on a single a4 sheet  (or a number "n" of pages on a  single 
sheet? It
would be also useful to make corrections without wasting to much paper."

I don't know whether it's possible or not, so would not accept this as a bug 
report.  If there was a statement that it was categorically not possible, 
then I could accept it as an enhancement request.

FWIW, on Windows, this is trivial to do by printing the Lilypond PDF to a 
PDF file using a PDF print driver that puts 2 pages per A4 sheet.
