[I know I'm posting a late reply, but I stumbled upon a horisontal staff placement problem myself and found this posting with a little help from Google.]

Note that "10" is a long bar number. Even "4" is a long bar number if one chooses to add some padding to the bar numbers. This means that any score I write will have all bars after the first offset slightly to the right. This looks ugly. But your suggestion got me a solution! A GNU sed one-liner in the Makefile, which now contains the following (of which the "sed" line is the interesting bit): rodhefte.fake: rodhefte.tex /sw/bin/sed -i 's/%%BoundingBox: -[1-9][0-9]*/%%BoundingBox: 0/' lily*eps touch rodhefte.fake rodhefte.dvi: rodhefte.fake latex rodhefte.tex makeindex rodhefte.idx latex rodhefte.tex (It also containts other rules.) > Hmm, the situation is different for documents where you want to > include short music snippet in the middle of a text line or > LaTeX table or whatever, where you do want the bounding box to > include all the LilyPond output, which is an argument for your > solution.

It works nicely for me, but it seems at first to break indents. After a second look, it seems indents are broken anyway, and that the following line fixes indents too: /sw/bin/sed -i 's/%%BoundingBox: -*[1-9][0-9]*/%%BoundingBox: 0/' lily*eps Thought you might like to know this.
