Dear Jeffrey

Your reaction was predictible. Sorry to speak Sanskrit. We will keep it to Latin.

In order to produce a gregorian partition with Gregorio, you need two input files: one written in Gabc and one written in LaTeX. I suppose you have reached that level of understanding. If not, I will be more explicit. The geometry package has to be included into the LaTeX file.

Here is an example of a LaTeX file using the geometry package, taken from http://svn.gna.org/svn/gregorio/trunk/examples/main-lualatex.tex:
% This is a simple template for a LuaLaTeX document using gregorio scores.

\documentclass[11pt]{article} % use larger type; default would be 10pt

% usual packages loading:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{graphicx} % support the \includegraphics command and options
\usepackage{geometry} % See geometry.pdf to learn the layout options. There are lots.
\geometry{a4paper} % or letterpaper (US) or a5paper or....
\usepackage{gregoriotex} % for gregorio score inclusion
\usepackage{fullpage} % to reduce the margins

% to change the font to something better, you can install the kpfonts package (if not already installed). To do so
% go open the "TeX Live Manager" in the Menu Start->All Programs->TeX Live 2010

% here we begin the document
\begin{document}

% The title:
\begin{center}\begin{huge}\textsc{Populus Sion}\end{huge}\end{center}

% Here we set the space around the initial.
% Please report to http://home.gna.org/gregorio/gregoriotex/details for more details and options
\setspaceafterinitial{2.2mm plus 0em minus 0em}
\setspacebeforeinitial{2.2mm plus 0em minus 0em}

% Here we set the initial font. Change 43 if you want a bigger initial.
\def\greinitialformat#1{%
{\fontsize{43}{43}\selectfont #1}%
}

% We set red lines here, comment it if you want black ones.
\redlines

% We set VII above the initial.
\gresetfirstlineaboveinitial{\small \textsc{\textbf{VII}}}{\small \textsc{\textbf{VII}}}

% We type a text in the top right corner of the score:
\commentary{{\small \emph{Cf. Is. 30, 19 . 30 ; Ps. 79}}}

% and finally we include the score. The file must be in the same directory as this one.
\includescore{PopulusSion.tex}

\end{document}
If you want to modify the options provided by the package geometry, you will have to change the red line in the preamble above by the blue one below:
\usepackage[left=3in,right=2in,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
This means the left margin is 3 inches and the right one 2 inches.

I hope this is clear enough.

Regards.

I did, and it made as much sense as sanskrit does to me. (NOT!)  Sorry, I learn by good examples, even IBM 370 Assembler is easier than this.  LOL

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

You should look at the geometry package (type texdoc geometry in a terminal) ; it will let you change several dimensions.

Sincerely yours,

I'm new to LaTex and I'm finding it daunting to get the Margins to change.  Does anyone have a practical example that makes the margins larger than 1.5 in. default to something like 2 or 3 inches?  Or vice versa?  Or even different paper size?

This is the most frustrating part--worse than the TeXworks issue with Mavericks.

Thanks in advance,
