I have no problem finding nice settings here, but apparently a pdf is not a pdf as I assumed... I must admit I don't understand the inner workings of neither abcm2ps, postscript, gv, ps2pdf or pdf, but it must be possible to produce a single pdf that will print beautifully on any platform. Otherwise they should change PDF into DF... -- love, peace & harmony Atte To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

I never made skink work on Kaffe; when I've run it it's been by downloading a JRE from sun, and I agree I wouldn't do it over a slow connection. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

After your post I tried again (I don't like to waste space and paper) and I think I've found the solution : pageheight29.7cm pagewidth 21cm topspace 0.00 topmargin 0.50cm %or less... botmargin 1.00cm leftmargin1.00cm rightmargin 1.00cm If you use 27.94cm instead of 29.7cm (for A4) you'll get too much space on top (try using 49cm instead and you have the opposite, tunes are "going out" on top). Do the same for 21cm instead of 21.59cm and the staffs are now centered. It's also possible to define the default values in config.h and then recompile abcm2ps ___ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo!

It's a good idea. Even if I can use runabc.tcl for this the ability for Skink as proof read and listen give something more. But for me runabc.tcl runs both on linux and windows, and I can't make Skink works on linux. I've Mandrake 8.2 and they seem to have forgotten to give us a decent / recent JRE. I wonder how Atte Andre Jensen managed to make it run because he has also a Mandrake and they give only an old java console, called Kaffe. I can't download the latest JRE because I've only a slow connection. (If I had an ADSL, quick connection why should I bother to download all those abc files ? I would download music in MP3 format instead ! ;) ) ___ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo!

[abcusers] page layout in abcm2ps
I decided I wanted to create an efficient layout using the whole page (A4) in abcm2ps, but there are some things I just can't figure out. The fact that my printer is dead doesn't make it easier... I used to have pageheight27.94cm pagewidth 21.59cm scale 0.65 topspace 0.00cm topmargin 2.00cm botmargin 1.00cm But that left the upper 2cm and lower 4cm blank, but now changing stuff around I totally don't understand the behaviour. The software involved is abcm2ps, ps2pdf and ghostview under linux. Could someone inform me *exactly* settings will make abcm2ps fill the A4-paper as much as possible??? -- love, peace & harmony Atte To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
