I have a problem fitting the first movement of one of Telemann's canonical sonatas for two flutes onto two pages to avoid having to turn pages in the middle of a movement.
In one of the mutopia lilypond files I have found the (undocumented?) ChoirStaff context which seems successfully to put a brace around the front of the two grouped staves allowing the spacing between staff groups to be relatively small without your eye skipping to the wrong staff while sightreading. However, when using ly2dvi I seem to get an enormous space at the top and bottom of the music, presumably for documentation. I'd rather put this information on the flysheet, as is common practise. I can find no documentation about altering the top and bottom margin. I found no references in the past postings to this group, so does anyone know how to do this? Currently using 16pt I have a space of 41 mm between the top staff and the top of the page and 81mm at the bottom. I have 5 pairs of staves on the page and the A4 Barenreiter edition I am working from has 7 perfectly legible staves of the same size per page!
