*Really* big orchestral score with lilypond ?
Hello, I am currently working on a orchestration with involve a really *big* number of musicians (4 solists, choral, and 12 percussionnists, each playing several instruments) As you can expect, even with "paper11.ly" everybody does not fit on a single page ! So my questions are : - Is there a way to have a paper size < 11 ? - Or is it possible to ask lilypond to write an a3 page and use psutils to resize it to a4 ? Thanks in advance, Alex. ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Landscape paper
Note that ps2pdf handles the file correctly, even though
gv has some troubles to show the correct bounding box in
the correct orientation.
Han-Wen and Jan, is there any nice way to automatically
switch \vsize and \hsize if orientation=landscape in
Lilypond? The problem is that these settings are done
in the initialization files and I can't figure out how
to call Scheme to be able to do a conditional setting
(ly-get-paper-variable needs a grob as input).

Ver 1.6.0: No StaffSpacing wishes found
Hello, after a longer pause I tried to use lilypond again; since my TeX-installation had changed, I decided to upgrade lilypond to its latest available version (1.6.0 in the cygwin distribution) [also tried to install it in Redhat 7.3, but that would make a different story] After heavy reconfiguring (I just had installed LiveTeX on the machine, and there are some clashes, which needed some investigation to circumvent, quite prominently the builtin kpathsea-library) lilypond is now able to find all necessary files and call the proper programs. But it gives me strange error messages like the following (for the file les-nereides in the documentation): >> Running LilyPond... >> GNU LilyPond 1.6.0 >> Now processing: `les-nereides.ly' >> Parsing... >> Interpreting music... >> /home/asteindl/musik/les-nereides.ly:21:17: warning: Junking request: `Key_change_req': >> \key a \major >> >> >> /home/asteindl/musik/les-nereides.ly:21:17: warning: Junking request: `Key_change_req': >> \key a \major >> >> [5] >> Preprocessing elements... >> Calculating column positions... programming error: No StaffSpacing wishes found (Continuing; cross thumbs) >> programming error: No StaffSpacing wishes found (Continuing; cross thumbs) >> programming error: No StaffSpacing wishes found (Continuing; cross thumbs) >> [3] >> paper output to `les-nereides.tex'... >> In my own example I get much more of these messages and the text isn't centered below the notes, but left aligned. So my (not really) short questions: Is the problem a) in my configuration, b) in the source file, c) some feature of lilypond? Thanks for any hints!

I tried to use the "linewidth" specification before sending my e-mail, but I did not see the expected result since I was not using the "portrait" orientation with Ghostview. Now all works fine.

Re: Landscape paper
in the \paper block set
linewidth = 27.0 \cm
this might help. in gv you then flip the paper to "portrait" rather than
landscape to view.

Landscape paper
Hello to everybody.
I've tried to print a score using landscape orientation, but the result
doesn't satisfy me. I wrote:
---
\paper {
papersize = "a4"
orientation = "landscape"
}
\include "paper20.ly"
\score { \notes \relative c' { c4 d e f g a b c c b a g f e d c } }
---
Using Ghostview the score has to be flipped, but this would not be a
serious problem. The real inconvenience is in the small margins: the last
three notes are clipped, and the score ends on the last 'f'. Am I doing
something wrong? Perhaps this is not the right way to print landscape
scores.
