This sounds like some weird problem with some font file. I seem to remember that there were some similar problems in some distributions of version 2.6 or possibly version 2.8 but not in any of the 2.10 packages available at www.lilypond.org. I hope you have made sure that you really use version 2

The fonts should be embedded in the PDF files, but it's a well-known problem that Adobe Illustrator fails to handle many aspects of PDF and PS files, even though both PS and PDF have been defined by Adobe themselves. One possibility might be to use ps2ps, included in the Ghostscript distributi

Just as in the example in section "Printing Chord Names", it seems that you need to add the bar line engraver to the chord names context (the bar line won't show up in print, but LilyPond needs it to handle the volta brackets correctly). \version "2.10.19" \header { title = "1. volta bracket n

I'm sorry, it turned out that the US Letter PDF I provided for Recursion was sized for A4 paper, not US Letter. It probably got cut off if you tried to print it. It's corrected now, as is the Lilypond source. The PDF for Emergence didn't have this problem. I was having some trouble getting

If you are merely queuing the cover to the printer, why don't you just define a custom Paper Size for your printer. Preview can make it fit top and left justified. In Preview, hit File / Page Setup. The third pull-down is "Paper Size:" pull down and select "Manage Custom Sizes." On the "C

Your goal is to create an 8.5x11 pdf with some text and the jewel case sized graphic. And you want to avoid importing the PDF into Illustrator because Illustrator wants to reformat everything and is not doing that well. Rather than using Illustrator, why not try a raster graphics package like
