It's not supported in lilypond-book. In fact, the pdftex support in LilyPond does exist but hasn't been very actively supported, so it's highly likely to be broken. However, even if that part works, some work would be required to include the support in lilypond-book. /Mats D Josiah Boothby wrote

Don't use texinfo. I definitely recommend to use LaTeX instead to write the document. You can find a full example of a lilypond-book LaTeX document in the manual. For an introduction to LaTeX, I recommend http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf /Mats Jean-marc LEGRAND wrote

Hi all, I have some problems adjusting the page layout. Using \paper { leftmargin = 10\mm linewidth = 165\mm indent = 0.0 } works fine (the additional left margin) with Lilypond (2.4.2) but has no effect in lilyppond-book. How can I achieve an adjustment of my scores in l

lilypond-book will typeset the scores using the linewidth used in the rest of the LaTeX document, so just use ordinary LaTeX commands to specify the page layout you wish. I would recommend the geometry package. Run the command texdoc geometry to view the documentation (I'm not sure if the documenta

Please always tell what LilyPond version you use, when sending a question to the mailing list (actually a good practice is to include a \version "..." statement in every .ly file you write). Also, it's much easier to get help from the mailing list if you send a full example that people can try dire

Ok, thanks for the answer. It doesn't show up on the paper output, so it might just be a display thing in my MacOS X / Fink setting somewhere. I'll wait and see what 2.6 will bring. Arjan On 24 feb 2005, at 9:41, Mats Bengtsson wrote: I know there have been some changes related to these function
