Re: the next step?

Should be easily doable in a two-column LaTeX document?

Dear All,

A friend of mine asked a few questions about a pipe-organ piece i'd
written that was performed recently. i ended up making two sheets of
examples for him, one with a table of canons in two voices
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97727771/chaconne_a2-canon_analysis.pdf>,
the other in four
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97727771/chaconne_a4-canon_analysis.pdf>.


When i started making these, i thought of arranging them in two
columns on a single page. To keep the numbers readable, i decided
against this. However, i remain curious. Is it possible to divide a
page into columns? i know that text can be arranged into columns, and
the Internals mention a PaperColumn and its appropriate engravers and
contexts. Having read the sections on page and score layout, i
couldn't find anything that explicitly addressed this problem. i am
working (still?!) in 2.14.2, so the next step just might be an update.

If anybody wants to listen
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97727771/Chaccone%20Rondo.mp3>,
i'd be honored. The organist is Amelia Javorina. i apologize for the
audience noise, but it's the best that could be done given the
circumstances.

Thanks, All, and please take care.

I recently typeset a piece like this - it required a lot of manual
trickery, but it is doable if you use a top-level markup and the
\fill-line command. A recent command was also added by David N. that
helps with this (see
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3860).

It is not automated, so it is a pain, but it comes out looking very nice
- you just have to manually do new markups for new pages.


Wouldn't it be easier to typeset it in the regular way but with page 
width set to the desired column width, and then use some PDF or 
Postscript manipulation tool to move each pair of pages into one?
