[linux-audio-user] Magnifying LilyPond output by using landscape mode?

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

To make a long story short, I recently gained the ability to make
normal print into a tactile thing very easily.  Now, I'd really like
to have a short piece of music for getting an idea how this stuff
normally looks...  Of course not for playing or anything serious, its more
a thing of interest.  However, if I print out a straight A4 PostScript
file generated by LilyPond, the resulting information density is soo high
that I basically can not feel much difference between the individual notes, let
along figure out their exact position vertically.  What I'd like to do
is to flip LilyPond output by 90 degree, and magnify it as much as possible,
so that one system goes all the way along the long axis of an A4 paper.

I've choosen Musette from www.MutopiaProject.org as my example piece
since it normally fits on one A4 page, so I guess after my magnification
it should probably take up 3 or 4 pages?  Also, I know that tune in and out,
so its surely a good way to getting a grasp of the system...
I've tried all sorts of things like editing the LilyPond .latex files
directly, switching to landscape mode and all that, but the result never really
worked as I expected.  Digging through all the PostScript postprocessor
tools didn't help either.  psresize can not flip, and psnup can not
magnify and so on and so on.

PLEASE, if anyone got an idea how I could accomplish this and still keep
a fairly high resolution, please please let me know.

P.S.: In case you're confused after reading this, I am blind, and tactile
print is the only way for me to access graphical content right now.
