Hello,

I have a choir score that originally fit on one page. After writing it
with Lilypond the last measure is on an additional page. How do I shrink
the size? I think there should be room for shrink at the lower part.

I fixed some errors (- without space) in the lyrics so the notes were better spaced out, and set global-staff-size to 18, which is nicer than the default 20 for multi-staff scores. And removed the ragged-right setting.

btw: using -- instead of single - in the lyrics gives nice centered hyphens between syllabes.



Wilbert,

many thanks for reply. Now I get it on the paper. With your's and Francisco's help I have now a satisfying layout.

Tanks,
Helge
