Hey all, I just discovered a command line option that is not mentioned in the docs: It's possible to append "landscape" to a paper size, e.g.
$ lilypond -dpaper-size=\"a6landscape\" inputfile.ly There are a few error messages and lots of warnings but basically it seems to work. Parsing... programming error: Cannot find key `"a6landscape"' in alist, setting to `#f'. continuing, cross fingers programming error: cannot evaluate "#f" in module "#<module b61fc630>", setting to "(148.0 . 105.0)" continuing, cross fingers … Drawing systems... warning: cannot fit music on page: overflow is 35.344199 warning: compressing music to fit … I tested the command with different large scores with many staves/instruments. With the landscape-option larger scores collide with the title and the copyright tag, staves collide and are compressed too much. Without the landscape-option the automatic scaling always seems to work. Same result when I include either #(set-default-paper-size "a6" 'landscape) or #(set-default-paper-size "a6landscape") in the .ly file. Automatic scaling does not seem to have an effect on the staff size?! Is this a "landscape-bug"? hth patrick _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
