Hi everyone. I'm still a relative newcomer to Lilypond, but I just want to say
first off that lurking in this newsgroup has been a tremendous asset as I learn.
I'm currently working on a vocal score. I'd like to lay out the music on legal
paper, landscape, with two pages per sheet. Like this laughable excuse for ASCII
art:
-----------------------------
| Title | |
| =========== | =========== |
| =========== | =========== |
| =========== | =========== |
| =========== | =========== |
| | |
-----------------------------
My first effort has failed. I tried creating a new paper size in paper.scm with
the following:
("halflegal" . (cons (* 7.0 in) (* 8.5 in)))
Also here's my "\paper" block:
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "halflegal")
paper-width = 7\in
paper-height = 8.5\in
top-margin = 5\mm
left-margin = 16\mm
line-width = 156.0\mm
bottom-margin = 6\mm
}
But while that successfully constricts what's rendered in the ps/pdf file, it
doesn't generate anything printable: systems are cut off mid-measure, and the
question of 2-per-page is not addressed.
Any thoughts/ideas you might have would be appreciated, even if it's nothing
more than a new angle to try. Also, I'm using version 2.10.25.
Thanks!
-Eric
