Out of curiosity: What exactly is the original format? > Work arounds: Printing on a larger (non-standard) paper size or > shrinking the pages before printing. 6x9" would be too close to A5 to gain much. B5 is probably a bit on the large side, but a nice general paper size for music. > I guess the moral of the story is that DIN A5 is not a good page size > for staffsize 18. Or, conversely, that staffsize 18 is too large for A5. I typeset choral music, so my constraints are different than yours, but I use staff-size 18 for A4. I've used smaller, too, for A4. If A5 isn't too small a page size, you could probably get by with a staff-size as small 13 or 14, which is smaller than you need to get wider margins. -- Cheers, Arvid _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
