Letter page length too long

2005-10-22 Thread Michael Haynie
Greetings: I've noticed that Lilypond consistently produces pages that are roughly 1/2 a line too long, with the result that my footer line is cut off. The distance from the point where the text is cut off to the bottom of the page is 1/2", the usual printer margin. In version 2.2, I was abl

Greetings: In Lilypond 2.2, I used to LaTeX with the vmargin package to define a custom paper size for a 1/2 size songbook. With lilypond 2.6, simply including the vmargin package ( just \include[vmargin] -- it's part of a typical TeX installation) causes lilypond-book to produce a score wi

t the page size, I hope you realize that it can be done also within LilyPond. Some additional information has been added in the manual for version 2.7, that also should be relevant to you, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.7/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/ Paper-size.html#Paper-size /Mat
