Doesn't TeX respect LC_PAPER? I can understand that Lilypond should not look at any local settings to interpret the input, as the input is Lilypond-specific. But I don't see why Lilypond should ignore local setting for the output. Paper is paper, whether it's used for text or music. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
