Hi, i've been using the systems-per-page layout variable for some scores and have a question related to it.
in the piano pieces i've been working with lately, finding page breaking has become challenging. i've generally resorted to system-count, forced page-breaks and at times, systems-per-page. if i can find an ideal systems-per-page count for middle pages of a score, quite often, the first-page becomes _very_ cramped. having one system less on the first page generally solves this problem. is there a variable for the page layouting algorithm that can affect the system-count for the first (and ideally also for the last) page? ideally, i could imagine something like this: %%% \paper { systems-per-page = #5 systems-on-firstpage = #4 %{ -- this is if the last page would not be fully filled systems-on-lastpage = #3 ragged-last-bottom = ##t %} } %%% Is something like that possible? regards, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
