[tip] making music fit onto less pages

If you think that LilyPond 1.6 uses a bit too much space, you can do this: \paper{ \translator { \StaffContext minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-4 . 4) } } This does the same thing as sticking \property Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-4 . 4) in all your staffs, but you only need to type it in once.

First of all, I recommend to update to the new stable Lilypond release 1.6.0. I assume that you have installed your current Lilypond 1.4.10 from an RPM, or did you compile it yourself? How did you process the file, did you use ly2dvi -P test.ly? Have you tried to view the .dvi file in xdvi (or k

Lilypond-book: producing the score alone with no paper

The attached file produces an ok output in the form of a lily-.eps file, except that it has a full paper size. When I convert to pdf for use in a .tex file it keeps the original paper size and it the figure becomes too tiny. Please note there is no paper block. How can I just produce the scor

Please send the file again. The one you sent was the output of Lilypond-book. I usually use the suffix .lytex for LaTeX files with inline Lilypond code that are input to lilypond-book, to avoid that they are overwritten. /Mats ___ Lilypond-user m
