One thing I've found useful is to change the default page dimensions
to the intersection of these two page standards. Here's what's in my
abc2ps.h file:
/*
* basic page dimensions in cm. Two useful page sizes:
* 29.7x17.4 is ISO D8
* 28.0x18.7 is US letter
* Our default is the smaller of each dimension.
* All of these can be overruled with a .fmt file.
*/
#define PAGEHEIGHT 28.0
#define LEFTMARGIN 1.5
#define STAFFWIDTH 17.4
This isn't ideal for either page size, but has the benefit that the
music probably won't get clipped or have holes punched through notes
on either margin. And the page sizes are similar enough that most
users won't notice a problem.
