I set the vsize in the paper block, and was able to control the length of the page, so I have a reasonable work around for the basic problem.
However, I'm now convinced that I'm seeing a real bug (though nearly trivial to fix)-- the paper size for letter doesn't account for the required machine borders (typically 1/2" at each margin, for a total reduction of 1"). This might also be true for other paper sizes -- but I'm unable to test those. I looked around in the ly sources for a set of paper definitions, but didn't find anything. Does anyone know where the dimensions for e.g. letter paper are set? I'd guess that 5 minutes with a ruler and that file would allow me to determine the most likely wrong dimension (vsize, at a guess).
thanks. On Oct 23, 2005, at 4:44 AM, Erik Sandberg wrote:

Since 2.6, lily doesn't go via tex/dvi, so dvips is never invoked. The .ps file is created directly, so this must be a problemspecific to lily.I don't know anything about letter size papers, since I only have used a4 myself. But IIRC, there is an example in regression tests, which demonstrateshow page sizes can be completely customised. -- Erik
