Install Audacity. Then do a search with Synaptic for JACK. Remove all
files except libjack. (This is due to a bug in Audacity that prevents it
working with JACK)
Use Audacity to record each tune separately. Export from Audacity as MP3s to suitable folder. Then transfer MP3s to Brasero record list and burn.

Make sure your print preference is set to A5 in Evince, and use A5 paper upright in printer. Don't try and print on A4 and hope to cut it in half. It doesn't work!
