Awesome!! I like it, Graham! Worked perfectly with that command.
Thanks for sharing.

Sorry! I've added
% run with
% lilypond -d letter spacing-a4-letter.ly
% for letter size
to the top of the file.
This produces a warning that "no such internal option: letter", which
I'd like to get rid of, but it works all the same.
Cheers,

Hi Graham,
This is a really good idea. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right,
though. No matter whether I just run the file without options or if I
use
lilypond -dpaper-size=\"letter\" spacing-a4-letter.ly
the file info says the paper is A4 Portrait size. Did I invoke it
correctly to get letter size?

I'm preparing my old scores for online publication, but I'm
extremely fussy about engraving. I want users on both sides of
the Atlantic to be able to print my music easily, but this only
works if the music looks in the same in A4 and Letter paper.
(having page turns in random places is *not* acceptable to me :)
The attached file achieves this:
- creates A4 (default) or letter (from a command-line option)
// shamelessly stolen from Nicholas Sceaux's scores
- automatically adjusts the margins such that there's at least a
1cm margin. A4 has smaller horizontal margins, letter has
smaller vertical margins.
- produces a usable area (for headers, music, text) of 190mm by
259mm.
Let me know if you can think of any improvements; I'll add it to
LSR when I'm reasonably confident that this is the best way to go
about this.
Cheers,
