Re: Line-width, Staff Size, Print Size
Reilly reilly at together.net writes: I am now preparing a major orchestral score and parts and sending the .pdf files electronically to a print shop. I will format the musical score for an 8.5 x 11 in original so that the print shop will enlarge the score perfectly to 11x14 inches and the parts to 9.5 x 12 inches respectively. If it were me, I'd set the paper size for the 11x14 and 9.5x12 and let lilypond generate the pdf's at the true size. Then I'd use acrobat reader or some other printer to automatically resize the lager-size outputs for local printing on my 8 1/2x 11 inch paper.

Re: Line-width, Staff Size, Print Size
What is the relationship between the digital size of the line-width and staff height (in Lilypond specs, in the .ps file, and in the .pdf file) and the printed output? Is it true and invariant? Depends on your printer and it might call for minor adjustments. But it should be 1:1. Print out a grid and find out. If I specify that the line-width = 178 mm, is it truly 178 mm? ... I did a test run with a score with linewidth = 155 \mm, and it come out as 155mm plus 1-1.5mm for the choral staff bracket. Why don't you simply test it. /Karl ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
