Music notation is bi-dimensional, it has simultaneous notes in the vertical axis and sequential notes in the horizontal axis. Break staves anywhere you like using \break and pages using \pageBreak. > What is the paper size for a "real" conductors book. It depends on the size of the orchestral score.

You need to reduce the size of the staves, eg with #(set-global-staff-size 14) standard is 20. -- Francisco Vila.
