I suspect this is simple - but not for me.
I've tried hard to solve this one myself, but I'm not coming up with
ANYTHING helpful anywhere.
If I have
"#(set-global-staff-size 20)"
in my code, I get 6 staffs spread across 1.5 pages (#6 is all that's on
page 2). If I set the size to 18, I get the crowded onto one page with
2" at the bottom.
I cannot figure out what's happening, or how to get better control of
spacing between staffs.
Also, the title of the piece is too high on the page. I can set a
top-margin, but it's ignored. Can't find documentation on how to control
this either.
Here's the top part of my code...
\version "2.10.0"
#(set-global-staff-size 20) % 20 this is said to be standard for most
scores
\paper {
#(set-default-paper-size "letter" 'portrait)
ragged-last-bottom = ##t % turns off vertical justify
left-margin = 0.6\in
line-width = 7\in % works better than specifying R-margin
bottom-margin = .7\in
top-margin = 0.15\in
}
\layout {
indent = 0.0\cm % remove indent on first staff
}
\header {
title = "Prelude #2"
subtitle = "A legato etude for classical guitar (2008.08.13)"
composer = "Tom Cloyd"
tagline = \markup { \small "score set by Tom Cloyd - with Lilipond -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]"} % this is the copyright line
}
Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has!
Tom
