Table of contents, various performance notes, exotic stuff (an ostinato
part where the same bar is played 157 times, printed just once with
some explanation), etc...
I'm not sure I would not be able to achieve the same with plain Lilypond
though, but I doubt it will provide the flexibility of LaTeX. Besides,
I don't feel like learning yet another markup language :-) LaTeX took
me long enough, thank you very much !!!
Lilypond-book does a great job for me... but experience has shown that
most other people and I do not use Lilypond for the same things, so my
opinion is of limited scope here.
