It depends on whether or not this is acceptable with the current known issues. (Some other pressing demands mean that I need to take a break from LilyPond work for some months, so I won’t have time to further improve upon this any time soon.) In its current state it would already work for many of the more obvious use cases – like Denemo’s on-screen score or producing image files destined for other documents. Should I put this up for code review or should we discuss this on the dev list? …or in an issue tracker? >> The approach is to temporarily set the page-height to the largest size >> possible, > > What is the largest size possible? I tried playing around with some > sizes, and some didn't work … I tried setting it to positive infinity, but that gave a programming error when there was a tagline. I traced the error to Stencil::translate, which throws the error for any value greater than 1e6. So I used 1e6 as the temporary page-height and everything is working fine. >> do the line breaking and page layout for that page height, then get the >> vertical position on the page and the height of the lowest system (or top >> level markup), and use that to calculate and then set the final page height >> so that it fits the content of the page. > > A crude version of this is what will be in the impending Denemo release > - Denemo creates the SVG output and counts the pages and then re-runs > LilyPond at a larger page size. I think that should work pretty well for your use case. I considered a similar approach before I worked out the current one. -Paul _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
