Ugh. Create Postscript, then use psnup or similar to put multiple pages to one. If needed, follow up with pstopdf. > Problems: > > 1. It's ugly job. Can be scripted. > 2.

Page numbers, irrelevant and put in arbitrary columns. Print without page numbers, attach afterwards. > Again, is there a more appropriate way to setup multi-column scores? TeX has the concept of a user-specified "output routine" which gets the finished pages without headers/footers and then attaches headers/footers/page numbers and so on. Something like this would seem to be nice: being able to catch the undecorated pages into boxes of specified size, still under control of Lilypond. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
