Have you tried the abc2ps package which is part of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, or have you compiled your own source code?

This should be easy to fix with an appropriate format file. There are examples and explanations in /usr/share/doc/abc2ps. Anselm -- Anselm Lingnau ..

One thing I've found useful is to change the default page dimensions to the intersection of these two page standards. Here's what's in my abc2ps.h file: /* * basic page dimensions in cm. Two useful page sizes: * 29.7x17.4 is ISO D8 * 28.0x18.7 is US letter * Our default is the smaller of each dimension. * All of these can be overruled with a .fmt file. */ #define PAGEHEIGHT 28.0 #define LEFTMARGIN 1.5 #define STAFFWIDTH 17.4 This isn't ideal for either page size, but has the benefit that the music probably won't get clipped or have holes punched through notes on either margin. And the page sizes are similar enough that most users won't notice a problem. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Debian GNU/Linux users will find it on their CDs or in the obvious places on the Debian net servers (and if you're online and have your system set up correctly `apt-get install abc2ps' is all you're going to have to say to obtain the current version), and the package is probably not much use to others.

I don't know how to say this in postscript ;-) but here's what I use for the PDf files at Musica Viva: Page size: A 4 (29.7x21 cm) Page margins: 0.5 cm top, 1.2 cm each side 2 cm bottom This seems to produce acceptable prints both on A4 and US letter paper.

Ditto what Anselm said (apt-get install worked great for me), but if you really want a URL these 3 should do : http://packages.debian.org/stable/text/abc2ps.html http://packages.debian.org/testing/text/abc2ps.html http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/abc2ps.html The difference is simply which Debian distribution the package is in (they're actually all the same version of abc2ps right now). In fact, the search page on packages.debian.org was where I looked first after I found out about abc :-). -D To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
Re: [abcusers] abc2ps under debian GNU/Linux
Oops... turned out I was missing the gs-fonts package (which is recommended, not required, by gs). I am new to debian and still getting the hang of the different levels of dependencies. Incidentally, I was running from source, not having realized that there was a debian package, but I switched over to the .deb.
