Hi Paul,
[playing the piano from on screen PDFs]
Before answering your lilypond questions let me point you towards
MobileSheets from www.zubersoft.com
I use it all the time as my music reader and it works like a charm.
W/r to arbitrary number of columns on a sheet of paper:
Adobe Acrobat Reader allows to print pages in an arbitrary pattern on
almost arbitrary sized paper. Instead of choosing a printer you could
export as a PDF and then view this PDF on whatever device you like.
You could also define whatever paper size you like in lilypond, but I'm
not sure I'd go that way.
Kind regards,
Michael
