Hi
I have several devices to show the music on. Rather than try to adjust the size, I measure the visible area on the screen and tell LilyPond to use that as its paper size. I have a 27" screen, so for that, I set the paper size to half the width and get my PDF viewer to show two pages at once. On screens I see little point in margins so I use and include file "Output for BENQ" which says:
\paper {
paper-height = 324 \mm paper-width = 295\mm
top-margin = 1 bottom-margin = 1 left-margin = 5 right-margin = 5
}
and then at the end of the .ly file I have:
music = {
\new PianoStaff \with {
...
} }
"A4book" =\book {
\include "Output for A4.ily"
\bookOutputName "Grieg - (A4) Wedding day at Troldhaugen (Lyric piece 53)"
\score {
\music
\layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 16) }
%\midi { \tempo 4=80 }
}
}
tabletBook = \book {
\include "Output for Tablet.ily"
\bookOutputName "Grieg - (tablet) Wedding day at Troldhaugen (Lyric piece 53)"
\score {
\music
\layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 16) }
}
}
PCBook = \book {
\include "Output for BenQ.ily"
\bookOutputName "Grieg - (PC) Wedding day at Troldhaugen (Lyric piece 53)"
\score {
\music
\layout { #(layout-set-staff-size 16) }
}
}
%\"A4book"
\PCBook
I am pleasantly surprised by how seldom I need to insert \tag's in the music to control the manual pagebreaks to get repeats to show at nice locations.
Hope this helps
