Re: lilypond-book unwanted space

[Peter O'Doherty]

Thanks Graham and Federico.
I actually took another route, cheating I suppose, which suits my requirements just as well. I created two pdfs, one from a .lytex file which includes introductory text and music snippets and one from a .ly file containing the main score and then combined them into one pdf using the pdftk utility.
Regards,
Peter

try:

as long as you have no instrument names, it should be fine.

Thanks but adding indent = 0\mm to the list above does not change anything. Or should it be added somewhere else?

you've already removed the indent when you included the file:

\lilypondfile[quote,noindent]{file.ly}

in a .lytex file the page layout is defined by LaTeX
you should change margins using the geometry package (I think)

post the header of your .lytex file and someone will give you some feedback,
even though it's a LaTeX question

or better: search the archives, it's been asked before
