Hi all,
I have a score with a full-page title page and several scores. Now, everything
fits on 3 pages, but the page breaks are not ideal and I can afford to use 4
pages anyway.
So, I insert a force page break before the last score (which takes ~0.66 pages
originally) to give it its own page and stretch the scores before that from
1.33 pages to 2 pages.
Unfortunately, after inserting this forced \pageBreak the scores (except the
last), which before took only ~1.33 pages, suddently don't even fit on 2 pages
any more, but need 3 pages!
Attached is an example of this effect. if you leave the second \pageBreak
commented out, everything fits on 3 pages. As in my real score the page breaks
are not ideal, I added the \pageBreak before the final score. Simply uncomment
that \pageBreak and suddently the score uses 5 pages instead of the expected 4
pages.
I have not found any way to convice lilypond 2.13.10 to use 4 pages... (using
\paper { page-count = #4 } does not work, since that results in 8 pages, 4
pages for the scores before the page break and 4 pages for the final score
after the page break)...
Any ideas how I can get this score on 4 pages, with
-) 1 Title page
-) 2 pages for the next 4 scores
-) 1 page for the final score
Thanks a lot,
Reinhold
