Hi! Sorry, rather strange question. I have one particular score (68 measures, with lyrics, no manual breaks, one \noBreak), lilypond lays it out in four pages (4+5+4+2 = 15 systems). When i put page-count = #3 in \paper block, lilypond lays it out in three pages (4+5+6 = 15 systems), but last

Odds are this was much easier to do in LilyPond than it was in SCORE (or Sibelius, for that matter). I think it looks better than either of the example on Grossman's page. Nice job. On 02/22/2010 08:02 AM, Bertalan Fodor (LilyPondTool) wrote: I found a page about Score at
