Thanks, Laurie. I never thought of having an adapted PDF for my reader (a
remarkable), but based on your example, here it is what I’m doing right now.
This is a different approach because I want to have also a normal PDF for
printing, I have two book entries on my lilypond file, something like this:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%% REMARKABLE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "remarkable"
\header {
% titles
}
\score {
% music score
\layout {
% layout settings
}
}
\paper {
#(set-paper-size '(cons (* 155 mm) (* 210 mm)))
indent = 0\mm
top-margin = #10
bottom-margin = #0
left-margin = #0
right-margin = #0
% other size settings
}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%% PDF %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\book {
\header {
% titles
}
\score {
% music
\layout {
% layout settings
}
}
\paper {
set-paper-size = "a4"
top-margin = 10
left-margin = 15
indent = 10
% other size settings
}
}
Of course, I use variables to add the music to the \score scope, so I don’t
have to make changes in both books.
Hope I might help someone.
