What LilyPond version are you using? According to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2004-08/msg00177.html this was fixed far before the release of the latest stable version, 2.4. /Mats Lyle Raymond wrote: It's been a while since I worked with Lilypond. I'm still getting the capit

LilyPond calls the program ps2pdf, which in its turn calls gs, so in your case it runs version 8.15. An alternative to hacking in the Ghostscript installation is to take the PS file generated by LilyPond and manually convert it into PDF using ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=11x17 strtrio-vln.ps We should probab

Re: Textcircled again

2005-02-16 Thread Mats Bengtsson
It certainly works, but the problem is that LilyPond thinks that the instrument name is extremely long, so it places it too far to the left. Try \layout{ indent=5\cm } to see where it actually ends up. The only workaround I could come up with for the moment, is to add something like \once \override

I would definitely recommend you to install the latest stable version, version 2.4.x, of LilyPond instead of the development version you have now. I've never user Gentoo, but on most other Linux distributions, the LilyPond installation installs a file in /etc/profile.d/ that sets some environment v
