Just to update you on the problem I'd reported earlier, regarding trying to get Lilypond to lay a song out on 3 pages, I found a workaround: In the Lilypond source where this song failed to lay out on 3 pages, that song's staff size (16) was smaller than that of the other songs in the cycle. Therefore I'd used #(layout-set-staff-size 16) in a \layout block of the \score block for that song, together with \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #0.8 for each stave in that song. This produced staves and symbols of the correct size (16), though the song failed to fit into 3 pages. I tried a second method: I separated that song and the title page into a separate document. I was therefore able to set the staff size globally, using #(set-global-staff-size 16) in a \paper block at top level. Lilypond then successfully laid the song out on 3 pages. It seems to me that the former method resizes the symbols and the stave line spacing, but not certain parameters that influence the spacing between symbols. With Windows Live, you can organise, edit, and share your photos. |
