That's exactly what I was looking for. I only upgrade with each stable release, which is infrequently enough that I can deal with doing this each time I install a new version. Thanks!

But the default will go back to A4 each time you install a new version of Lilypond and get a new version of lily.scm. On Linux, lily.scm is in /usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm if installed as root or the corresponding path under ~/lilypond if installed in your home dir. Don't know what the path is on Windows. Nick _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
