Man, welcome to pandora's box! After reading all of Bob's posts I have succeeded in producing acceptable pdf files in both letter and a4 format, using ps2pdf from MiKTeX 2.9 (not Ghostview convert) with no command line options. But to switch from one size to the other I changed the default paper setting in MiKTeX settings.
Bob, do I read you correctly than one cannot simply use command line options on ps2pdf to produce both sizes of outputs? I'll also add than in the process, I've found that the .ps produced by dvips in MiKTeX 2.9 is very different internally from 2.6. --Don Simons >-----Original Message----- >From: TeX-Music [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Tennent >Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 1:31 PM >To: Werner Icking Music Archive >Subject: Re: [Tex-music] A4 > > >|It seems the "official" way is to do > >| > >| initexmf --edit-config-file dvips > >| > >|and move the @ a4 section ahead of the @ A4size section.
