Standard ways of doing that are to quote the message (as I have above), or to keep me in the To: line and lilypond-user in the Cc: line (again, as I have above). You should do *something* to make sure that people are not confused. Just mentioning me by first name in an email to the list is confusing :) > Is this change now available in any of the post 2.8.0 releases? I don't believe so, I have not submitted it.

What I have works for me :) I did ask you to test my changes to framework-ps.scm. Are you saying you're not sure how to handle the "diff" that I sent (it's a way of representing changes to a file that can be applied in an automated fashion with the "patch" program). If so, let me know what version of LilyPond you're using right now and I will send you a patched framework-ps.scm for you to test (we can do this off-list). > BTW Finale calls this page size "Concert", and yes it is a standard, the > wikipedia is wrong/incomplete. Indeed, based on that it seems like "concert" is a better name than "manuscript," and I will change it in my next revision. If you know anything at all about this (as it seems you do), why not update WikiPedia?

We've covered this -- the problem is that this is insufficient, because postcript printers need additional information about the size of the paper that LilyPond does not output.

Well, it's possible that it they may not be necessary for the special case of PDF, because of the change to %%DocumentMedia from %%DocumentPaperSizes. But certainly they are still necessary for printers. --jhawk _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
