Hi Knute,

maybe automatic scaling can help you? See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/paper-size-and-automatic-scaling#automatic-scaling-to-paper-size

> If the paper size is changed with one of the scheme functions
> (|set-default-paper-size| or |set-paper-size|), the values of several

> after setting the paper size. Note that the automatic scaling is not
> triggered by setting the |paper-height| or |paper-width| variables,
> even though |paper-width| can influence other values (this is separate
> from scaling and is discussed below). [...]

Ich bevorzuge es, per E-Mail verschlüsselt zu kommunizieren. Wenn Sie mir einen 
Gefallen tun wollen, legen Sie sich bitte einen pgp-Schlüssel zu. Mit dem 
freien E-Mail-Programm Mozilla Thunderbird und dem freien Add-on Enigmail 
dauert die Einrichtung etwa 20 Minuten. Sie können Enigmail hier herunterladen: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/enigmail/ Bei Fragen und 
Problemen helfe ich Ihnen gern weiter.

I prefer encrypted e-mail-communication. If you would like to do me a favour, 
please get pgp-encryption. With the free Mozilla Thunderbird mail programme you 
can easily use the Enigmail add-on. Setup takes about 20 minutes. For 
installing Enigmail have a look at 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/enigmail/ If you have any 
questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
