I usually follow an old suggestion by Werner Icking (24 may 2000) for a4 paper in order to obtain a centered page with margins of 1.7 cm. Here is his post to the list:
<< e.g. for A4-size paper (210mm x 297mm): \hsize 210mm\advance\hsize -34mm\hoffset -1in\advance\hoffset 17mm \vsize 297mm\advance\vsize -34mm\voffset -1in\advance\voffset 17mm For a test add: \stafftopmarg 0pt\staffbotmarg 0pt\nopagenumbers\def\atnextline{\vfill} \startpiece\NOTEs\qa{eeee}\en\alaligne\NOTEs\qa{eeee}\en\endpiece\eject\bye If you want to have a standard footline omit "\nopagenumbers" and add "\advance\vsize 24pt" behind the definition of the page. If you use PMX the solution would be: w176m \\hoffset -1in\advance\hoffset 17mm\ h263m \\voffset -1in\advance\voffset 17mm\ If you use scor2prt then it may help to code the PMX-comands and the in-line TeX on seperate lines. -- Werner PS: DVI-drivers have a standard margin of 1 inch. Therefore \hoffset -1in means a zero margin. PPS: Because music needs much space I prefer 10mm margins PPPS: For a universal paper format I start with "\hsize 210mm" and "\vsize 11in" which makes the output useable as well on A4-size paper as on letter-size paper. >> Hope this hilft Luigi Cataldi On Sun, 18 Mar 2012 13:52:15 -0700 Don Simons <dsim...@roadrunner.com> wrote: > I'm in the process of adding an option in PMX that causes the output to be > centered, so that no further horizontal or vertical offsets are needed when > running dvips.
