Is there a way of more than one layer so that I can export layer 000

background onto each layer.
You could manipulate the SVG file between rendering, toggling the
visibility states of the layers (leaving the background layer visible).
The layer name, here "000" appears as
inkscape:label="000"
in the file, and will be followed by
style="display:none">
if the layer is hidden.
Or you export each single layer and then use another tool for
compositing. Easiest might be ImageMagick:
for f in layers/*.png;
do composite layers/background.png $f composited/${f##*/};
done
Assuming you have single layer exports in a folder "layers" including a
"background.png", want results in "composited" and use the script
from
within the parent folder.
Note that I don't know anymore how I arrived at the "${f##*/}".
