That version looks double-spaced or stretched to fit the line. All I can say is that it looks great in 2.9.13. Maybe I'll upgrade. I don't usually have any horrifying problems compiling it here. Why compile it yourself? The GUB's (Grand Unified Binaries - installers) on the web site work great. I run Debian sid and rarely have trouble. Note that when I use make-pango-font-tree the spacing reverts to what I'm used to seeing. Understood. I've never needed to try that. It looks like a fun piece. I'm a flutist. It looks like it might also be great with bass or alto flute substituted for the harp. Our Tucson Flute Club has two flute ensembles who might be interested in playing it. Have at it. Any guitarists around ? The part's pretty easy but it sounds cool. :) Yeah. A couple of our members are in professional flute and guitar duos. I might suggest using R1 instead of r1 for your whole measure rests. Nice, thanks again. I've updated the Web page, thanks a lot for helping make it look better. Glad it helped.

I've been adding \markup commands for specific fonts, it's a pain but at least it restores the preferable spacing. Have you read: 10.5.6 Horizontal Spacing in the 2.8 documentation? I usually don't have any problem with horizontal spacing. Sometimes I use a line break (\break) to adjust horizontal spacing. I also commonly adjust the width of multi-measure rests with \override Score.MultiMeasureRest #'minimum-length = # HTH, Paul ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Second way is to look at the relevant section of the manual (section 10? 11?) which will tell you how to change the paper size to American Letter. Outstanding, thank you. Your suggestions worked perfectly, I'm now completely happy with the printout. (And yes, I'm in the US.) As for making everything bigger, change the font size. There's a section in the manual on doing exactly that - scaling the output for scores, whatever. Look up "feta" - it might well be in the index, or search the pdf manual for it. It'll be obvious when you've found the right section, there's a table of the different font sizes and what they're recommended for. I had been looking at the wrong page. Now I understand how to do what I want. My thanks to you and Paul Scott for this information.

The score is naturally three staves (the harpist is a novice, her part fits in a single clef), and the printout is lovely. Alas, the printout is also cutting off the last staff from each page. The printing continues at the start of the next page, i.e., the missing staff is simply gone (not continued on the next page). My question: How do I solve that problem from LP ? Is there a \paper directive I should use ? If so, which one ? Or is this a printer problem ? The printer is a recently acquired HP 6540, it's fast and its output is excellent. I'm hoping the problem isn't with the printer. :( Second problem: The printout is a little too small for some of students, how can I adjust the size of the printed elements ? Again, is there a global LP command that will print everything in a larger font & text (and handle the page breaks appropriately) ?
