do it manually:

I'd like to see a new section in the fine manual: How-Tos.
In specific, I'm looking for something like "How to adjust the 'margins'
on output (see linewidth, place it _after_ the \include paper16.ly)."
Or "How to move the lyrics closer to the notes." Or "How to make the
lyrics line up with the f

Hi all,
To recap part I of the etf2ly saga
I converted etf2ly and got errors. A 348.ly file was generated.

This, and the problem with the score being glued with <> instead of

HI are you working on patching etf2ly??
Is there a reason that the header is on the bottom??
My druthers would be that etf2ly should be templateable.
I already know the format I want for my final file it would be nice to
be able to specify a template to use to dump the converted etf2ly output
into

Doable, except that I'm not familiar with any PDF reader under Windows,
Cygwin or Linux that will save the file as having been rotated.
