Take a look at lyx, if you haven't lately. If they would include the improved float from [EMAIL PROTECTED] there would be a complete ability to easily typeset a music book with both two columns of text and single and/or two columns of eps music. Would you mind too much if you did not have to mess with \latex at all? I have never understood why anyone would choose to print text on lettersize paper using only one column, anyway. It has never made any sense to me. Why is it still done? The failure to go to 2 columns means that latex is not smart enough to put text between wide pictures in one column if the text would occupy less than 4 lines in two columns. They are so hot on typographical rules I am surprised to find no mention of that one. ================================music If I can Should do it fill two this way but colums 4 if I only lines I fill 3 then ===============================music a maximum of 3 lines should extend to the width of the page in a 2 column document. Totally automatically. ===================================music The lyx developers recommend the use of xfig for simple drawings. If lilypond could produce an xfig file with each character and line an image, it would be great. Unfortunately, xfig's maximum depth is only 999, but that's probably enough to massage music one line at a time. Perhaps the maintainers can be persuaded to increase it to 9999. ;-) -- DaveA (Debian User)===================== The journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single KITA. ================= _______________________________________________ Gnu-music-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-music-discuss
