Re: Landscape output displays sideways
Channel wrap around can also occur if you assign midi channels per Voice
and instantiate more than 16 Voice contexts, for example if you have used
\new Voice at the beginning of each polyphonic passage.

I suspect it was this bug fix:

No, it's not misbehaving, the difference is intentional and
[documented](https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/paper-size-and-automatic-scaling).

You cannot have more than 16 channels in a MIDI file, it's a limitation of the
MIDI format. Maybe you have more than 16 staves?

I thought that I had posted before, but I was having some trouble getting mail
to this list.

It has certainly worked properly in the past. I may have missed the exact
version that started
messing up, but it's difficult to believe that *nobody* noticed it. I'm looking
at a composition is
version 2.18.2 that displays properly in landscape.

!! That makes it work! I don't get it, it seems to me that the "letter"
'landscape is misbehaving.
But, good enough, I'll use "letterlandscape" from now on. Thanks!
I have another question. I get five of these messages:
warning: MIDI channel wrapped around
warning: remapping modulo 16
I am-generating a MIDI file, but the only line in the source file talking about
MIDI is
\midi {
\tempo 2=100
}
in the score block. What's going on.

The way you start your message, it sounds like you have already told the list
about a problem, but I didn't receive anything?

Are you sure that it worked differently before? For me,
```
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "letter" 'landscape)
}
{ c' }
```
gives the same output in 2.24 and 2.22.
There is a big difference with
```
\version "2.24.0"
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "letterlandscape")
}
{ c' }
```

Landscape output displays sideways
After some more investigation, it seems that my problem is not with
Frescobaldi, but with Lilypond 2.24.1.
My composition includes this block:
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "letter" 'landscape)
}
The output is in landscape format, but it's displayed sideways. That is,
the 8.5x11 page is displayed in portrait format, even though the music in
it is in landscape. Apparently something is not being set properly in the
PDF file to get it to rotate the page. It's always worked fine before, the
output is landscape and is displayed properly.
This sideways display appears both in Frescobaldi and in a separate PDF
reader, so the problem must be in the PDF.
