Hello list,
I recently worked together with a publisher who said he can't understand that
there is no option in any notation-software that allows having different raster
sizes (means scaling of objects) for every page.
It is not on me to judge if this is wise, from a typographers point of view,
but I'm sure there is music that benefits of that.
What about lilyponds possibilities (or opinions) about this issue?
While you can output to various image formats in lilypond, the default
PDF output which uses postscript should be scalable at any size and is
not a raster-based image at all.
unless I have misunderstood what you meant.
Also see:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/usage-big-page#invoking-lilypond
This shows you how you can output scores to a variety of formats (PNG,
SVN and EPS).
I can see no need for 'raster' images being needed, depending on the
publication of course, but then one would just create an 'EPS' or import
the PDF file.
I don't know what your publisher knows, but perhaps his experience is
from users who don't know how to use their notation software to its
fullest for offset litho printing (assuming that is what they use).
