I frequently have a problem with Lilypond (version 2.11.65) regarding its calculation of what fits on one page.
All files mentioned and otherwise needed can be supplied. This is an example how I currently get 2 songs on 2 instead of 3 pages: 1) I set the bottom margin to -1.8cm (in the file 150-1.ly) 2) I make sure the pagebreak in line 19 of 150.ly is not set 3) I compile 150-1.ly 4) of the result (lily1.gif) I use page 1 and discard page 2 and 3 5) I set the pagebreak in line 19 of 150.ly 6) of the result (lily2.gif) I use page 3 and discard page 1 and 2 In this way I can achieve having the two songs on two pages which is obviously possible, but which Lilypond does not calculate correctly on its own. If I set the bottom margin to the more resonable 1cm I don't get enough on page 1 (see lily3.gif) and I still get 3 pages. For many of my 160 pieces I had to set the bottom margin to values of down to -4cm to get lilypond to still place everything onto a single page. I wish this could be rectified to make page layout easier:-) There is another project with several hundred songs coming up... _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
