Hi Michael, Francesco,

The technique of generating A4 and then converting to A5 works OK. I use it often (either by printing to PDF from my PDF viewer or with tools such as pdfjam). However, I find that often these techniques loose hyperlinks (in the TOC, for instance) so I would be interested in a full LilyPond solution aswell.

Cheers

Hi Michael,

yup, that's one option I can use. I was just wondering if there was
something I could type into the ly file to save the extra steps.

Cheers,

Francesco

Hi all,

Is there a command that allows me to set the size of the text font and
the note fonts to a value that would result in printing the content on
an a5 paper with the same aspect of an a4 print? I know there is a
command that does that for the music font, but at the moment I seem to
have to investigate building values and ratios for the fonts out of
the size of the paper?

Kind regards,

Francesco


Why not take a PDF file produced to fit on an A4 page and use the printer 
software to fit it to an A5 page?

I’ve just done this using the Acrobat Reader on my iMac, using the “Page Setup” 
option to choose A5.

Regards,

Michael
