Re: Sections or movements in a piece

Thank you for that answer that works for me. I didn't realise there could be multiple scores

Wouldn't they be completely separate pieces?  Or are they "movements" as
in they are two parts of a single piece?

In any case, the way to typeset that in Lilypond is simply to use
multiple \score blocks:

        \version "2.25.1"
        \score {
                % first nursery rhyme here
        }
        \score {
                % second nursery rhyme here
        }

They will be put on a single page if they fit, otherwise they will be
put on separate pages.
