Nice to see that this is explained in the docs: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/paper-size-and-automatic-scaling#setting-the-paper-size Swapping the paper dimensions without having the print rotated ... can be achieved by appending ‘landscape’ to the name of the paper size itself: #(set-default-paper-size "a6landscape") Thanks, David Elaine Alt 415 . 341 .4954 "*Confusion is highly underrated*" ela...@flaminghakama.com self-immolation.info skype: flaming_hakama Producer ~ Composer ~ Instrumentalist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
