Hence my suggestion for something like \outputSequence {} in another 
mail, that I haven’t sent yet… sorry, coming up.

That’s not why I wrote “per se”. I wrote it because \bookOutputName "" 
or \paper { output-name = "" } don’t actually name the book, they make 
Lily name the output file.

Can you write
\book {
   \name "Book I"
}
? If so, that’s currently esoteric knowledge and doesn’t affect how the 
program is being used.
