I was puzzled by the same problem, and I found out that abcm2ps is not to blame. The problem lies with ps2pdf, which fails to se up A4 paper correctly. My settings: abcm2ps (all versions since two years ago), AFPL Ghostscript 7.03 (Linux), and AFPL Ghostscript 7.0 (Windows). Set up the page in the abc file as you prefer. To convert the score to PDF with correct A4 paper size, you'll have to edit the file /usr/bin/ps2pdfwr and change the line that reads OPTIONS="-dSAFER" to OPTIONS="-dSAFER -sPAPERSIZE=a4" Converting with GhostView under Windows works fine. I guarantee that it works... you'll find several examples of A4 sheet music on my page, http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/choral/index.html Ciao, Guido =8-) -- Guido Gonzato, Ph.D. <guido . gonzato at univr . it> - Linux System Manager Universita' di Verona (Italy), Facolta' di Scienze MM.
