I'd really like to have a tagline for each part; I use it for
text like "Composed from Jan - May 2003", which I think is cute to
include.  :)


Could last_from_part be accessible from scheme?  Currently I'm
getting my desired taglines with this function:

#(define (last-page-score layout props arg)
  (if (or (member (chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props -1)
           (map (lambda (x) (- x 1)) (cdr FIRSTPAGES)))
          (chain-assoc-get 'page:last? props #f))
   (interpret-markup layout props arg)
   empty-stencil))

but this requires me to define FIRSTPAGES manually, which is
highly inelegant.  :(
