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

Hi Mario, Sorry for this late reply, I don't know if you managed to find a solution to your problem. Many, many aspects of the score layout and appearance can be controlled directly via the lilypond syntax and/or the scheme scripting API. I am not a lilypond guru but since no one seems to have tackled this problem, here's my stub at it (I have not checked whether you asked on lilypond mailing list). I attach the musette file, slightly edited. Note that I run a 2.4.2 version of lilpond. I had to run convert-ly on the original. Here is a list of changes I did to the file in order to make it output larger staff on a landscape a4: 1. global staff size. It could be anything, I set it to 26 but you could probably go much higher (I did try 48 and had about 2 measures per page); this is the Feta font size so everything will be adjusted proportianlly. This is probably the place where you can play with the size at will. #(set-global-staff-size 26) 2. I set manual page breaks (\pageBreak markup) but I just added them where \break (as for line-break) markup was. You can use it at will and you don't need the \break. \pageBreak implies a line-break. 3. I changed linewidth to 24cm \layout{ linewidth = 24.0 \cm } 4. And lastly, added \paper block \paper { #(set-paper-size "a4" 'landscape) } Many of the score elements can be controlled independently, though. noteheads, line spacing, stem thinkness, whatver you can think of, can be controlled it's just a matter of getting used to the system. Hope this helps. ./MiS
