Hi all,
if I produce scores that are to be printed on double-sided,
folded sheets (i.e. four A4 pages on one A3 sheet) I need to find
a way to add empty pages to the end of the score.
I have one bookpart with two pages of front matter, then comes
the score.
Then I need that flexible amount of 0-3 empty pages,
finally I have a last bookpart for the back cover.
How can I determine the number of pages a score has and add an
appropriate number of pages to that?
(2 + 5 + N + 1) % 4 = 0
Examples:
Score has 5 pages: -> 0 empty pages necessary
Score has 7 pages: -> 2 empty pages necessary
You don't want to do this in LilyPond, right? If so, you already
replied to yourself.
I did the same five years ago and the recommendation in this list
was: work on A4 in LilyPond and use some external tool (can't
remember which) to build the A3 pdf file. You already have the
"pseudo code" to create that pdf.
Well, I don't want to do the imposition from within LilyPond, but I'd
like to produce the score files directly from within LilyPond without
having to run them through LaTeX first.
So I want to produce files with a number of pages that can be divided
by four, and where the second-to-last page(s) are automatically
inserted to make that possible.
Use pdfbook - it will do it all for you. Just feed it your a4 lilypond
pdf containing whatever number of pages:
pdfbook --short-edge --paper a3paper file.pdf
will create a pdf named file-book.pdf correctly laid out for
double-sided printing on a3 and folding to make an a4 booklet.
On Ubuntu you need to install the packages texlive-latex-recommended and
texlive-extra-utils.
