Re: lilypond-book questions

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's not supported in lilypond-book. In fact, the pdftex support in
LilyPond does exist but hasn't been very actively supported, so it's
highly likely to be broken. However, even if that part works, some
work would be required to include the support in lilypond-book.
