Oh Wise Ones, I use Lilypond to produce jazz leadsheets for concert, Bb and Eb instruments, and find I often have to tweak parts to get them to fit on to a single A4 page.
Alto sax parts tend to need a bit more compression because they tend to have more ledger lines at the top of the staff. I can usually get a reasonable result by tweaking global-staff-size, but here’s an example of the bottom of a page with #(set-global-staff-size 14.75) https://www.dropbox.com/s/l1c8rggolebqox0/Screenshot%202019-06-10%2016.52.02.png?dl=0 and here’s the same song with #(set-global-staff-size 14.76) https://www.dropbox.com/s/q5vcp4ktf4wgb7m/Screenshot%202019-06-10%2016.52.48.png?dl=0 Although there’s a substantial gap between the last bar of the former and the footer, the latter forces the last three bars to a second page. Am I tweaking the wrong parameter? Is there a more elegant way of ensuring that a leadsheet fits in one page?
