It's in today's build at:

Command: Export Book of Layouts
Allows the creation of a single PDF containing a variety of layouts
(e.g. Full Score and individual parts). The layouts can have different
font sizes etc, unlike the Append option in the Print View.
Location: Main Menu ▶ File ▶ Export As
Internal Name: ExportBook

I have in mind a few tweaks to make the construction of the book more
transparent, but I think it is good to go.
With this command I think you could construct a book comprising scores
from different Denemo files... (not tested).
