Sorry to resurrect this thread again, but I've been busy with work and haven't had time to read the list lately :) I haven't fully tested this, but on Windows XP with Lilypond 2.9, just changing paper.scm to include the following line works for me: ("archA" . (cons (* 9.0 in) (* 12.0 in))) arch

Thanks John, I did figure out how to change paper.scm and made that change long ago, in order to make "Concert" an available form (also Concert 9x12 is a valid form in my WindowsXP installation for printer forms). However the PDF header is still not correct, Adobe Reader still does not think it

I'm stuggling with this too. I use 9x12 for Finale and GuitarPro all the time and they both create PDF files that reflect standard 9x12 sheet music paper just fine. Also 12x18 with a fold in the middle (but I'd be happy with just standard sheet music single pages 9x12 for now). Standard sheet m

Producing postscript for custom paper size (9x12" manuscript paper)?

2006-04-03 Thread John Hawkinson
Hello; I'm new to Lilypond. I spent a while trying to make LilyPond print to 9x12 inch paper (a relatively standard size for manuscript staff paper), and I ran into a bunch of snags and hiccups. Hopefully how I solved them is helpful, and perhaps someone could advise me on a "better way."
