Hello.
A while back, someone was kind enough to provide me with the following
code to center systems on pages
#(define-markup-list-command (center-column-list-args layout props args)
(markup-list?)
#:properties ((baseline-skip))
(let ((stils (interpret-markup-list layout props args))
(line-width (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'line-width)))
(space-lines baseline-skip
(map
(lambda (arg)
(ly:stencil-translate-axis
arg
(/ (- line-width (interval-length (ly:stencil-extent arg X))) 2)
X))
stils))))
I then wrap the score block and call it with this:
\markuplist \center-column-list-args \score-lines { \theScore }
It worked great. I use it for a very specific circumstance for some of
the music I engrave. Since that time, I have moved to using ANSI C paper
size (11" x 17") and now the systems do not fill to the bottom of the
page. The problem is, I have never gotten the hang of scripts and I
don't quite know what I am looking at. Which values in the script should
I update to allow the systems to vertically fill the new page size?
Many thanks in advance.
