Ugh. Create Postscript, then use psnup or similar to put multiple pages
to one. If needed, follow up with pstopdf.

Can be scripted.

Go via PostScript.

Print without page numbers, attach afterwards.

TeX has the concept of a user-specified "output routine" which gets the
finished pages without headers/footers and then attaches
headers/footers/page numbers and so on.
Something like this would seem to be nice: being able to catch the
undecorated pages into boxes of specified size, still under control of
Lilypond.
