i'm generating 5 pdf files (score & parts) from the same source, so that's not quite an option... > For the page breaks, the solution outlined in > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-06/msg00049.html > with followups. I think that the solution to the final email in the thread > is to remove the \book in the included file. ok, i managed to work out how to trick \layout { breakbefore } by defining a scheme variable to either true or false in the skeleton files and that works fine. now i have the problem that for the a5 landscape version i'm seriously squashing some layout with \context {\Score \override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'line-break-system-details} -- i don't want this squashing in the a4 portrait mode though. i've tried some weird and wonderful scheme hacks (creating a list based on whether the breakafive variable is set or not and passing that to break-system-details, but guile complains). so, basically i'm stuck. which means i need to create different input files which differ in 1 line for the a5 landscape format (with ~1700 lines of lily input just for the layout, i don't want to do this, so the lines get uncommented or commented out, depending on what i'm generating, but this is not satisfactory... :/) any ideas? thanks for your input, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
