I've tested this now and it works, indeed you can create a title page
for your book by creating a Denemo score that just has LilyPond markup

then load the score and typeset various layouts adding them to your
book.

to use the "Text after Movement" on a blank score and then delete the
only staff in the movement so that all that was left was the text.
