Hi Everyone
I've been experimenting with Lilypond to see how I might project music with an
overhead projector for sing-alongs. While playing with the png format option I
noticed that the png image is always cropped to be 859x1111 pixels (which
corresponds the "Letter" size, I believe). I say "cropped" because I can make
the standard lilypond footer line move around by changing paper sizes, but the
image size never changes.
I am running version 2.12.2 of Lilypond on a Windows XP machine with ample
resources. This is the lilypond file I played with (a snippet I found on the
website):
#(set-default-paper-size "a5" 'landscape)
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "a5")
}
\relative c'' {
a1 a a
% move to right position
-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-2 . -4.5)
% place in bottom layer
-\tweak #'layer #-1
^\markup {
% specify color
\with-color #(rgb-color 1 0.5 0.5)
% specify size
\filled-box #'(0 . 8) #'(0 . 4) #0
}
a
}
I played with various combinations of 'set-default-paper-size' and
'set-paper-size'. I found that the pdf output format takes the paper size into
account, but never the png one. I even created a new output form size and
edited paper.scm as suggested elsewhere - still with no effect on png (although
it worked with pdf).
Is there something else I need to take into account with png? Some other
property or setting I need to change, perhaps?
I would like to get it to work with png format as that opens up other
possibilities for me which won't be available with pdf or ps formats.
Kind regards,
Johan Hoogenboezem
