I'm having fun trying to get things to print landscape. Okay, I'm doing
"monkey see monkey do" programming, but I have two apparently almost
identical files, one of which prints landscape, the other portrait.
Even worse, putting the stuff in the paper block seems to be completely
ignored. Okay, part of it is confusion between "set-paper-size" and
"set-default-paper-size", but at the end of the day, nothing makes
sense. I attach two "part" files which are almost identical. Both have
set-default-paper-size in the layout block. Both are physically
portrait, but Grandioso (the one I'm working on) is fully portrait.
Colonel Bogey is on its side, so it's effectively landscape that's been
rotated 90 degrees.
Okay, my ideal scenario would be to have the page properly landscape,
but I can't even get the music to rotate on the page ... is there
anything obviously different and wrong with Grandioso compared to
Colonel Bogey?
The other ideal scenario would be to actually understand what's going on
:-) I've read the manual
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/setting-the-paper-size
but like most man pages it probably only makes sense once you already
understand it ...
(Comment out bookTitleMarkup - I've just redefined/overridden the
standard one to give a Brass Band header rather than an orchestral header.)
Cheers,
