Dear all, this is what i use for changing space between staffs for lyrics.
The real space depends of the global def: ie AI0.9
For 1 staff, or for under the lowest instrument, use ie.
\\staffbotmarg=2\Interligne\
Between the instruments ie. above instrument 1:
\\setinterinstrument1{3\Interligne}\
Changing spaces between staffs, redefine interstaff, ie:
\\let\interstaffsav\interstaff\def\interstaff#1{}\interstaffsav{14}\
As an example of landscape format, this is what i use for the oblan format:
w281m h205m
\\special{papersize=320mm,240mm}\voffset=-12mm\hoffset=0mm\

Hi Don, thanks for your rapid reply.
on a WIndows/miktex installation it works perfectly as you suggested
putting the "w" and "h" command in PMX and setting the "-tlandscape"
option in the call to DVIPS.
However I do have another problem. I have a choir example with two
staves and 5 verses (typeset with Musixlyr) between the staves. And I
need more space between the staves.
I was not successful to resolve the problem with the PMX option AI[x] .
I know I must do something to the interinstrument distance, but I am not
so familiar with MusixTeX.
Thanks and kind regards
Dieter

Within PMX it's pretty easy. Right after the setup data, just set the
width
and height of the printed area with built-in PMX commands. For example,
for
U.S. lettersize with 1/2 in margins, right after the setup data put
w10i
h7.5i

Windows 7, in my test I found that no changes were needed when running
TeX.
For dvips, I used
dvips -tlandscape file.dvi
I can't say whether you'd need a different option for European size paper.
Also, you might want to tweak the vertical and horizontal position of the
postscript output with dvips command line options like -o0.25in,-0.22in; I
didn't mess with that in my test and the postscript output looks slightly
low and to the left of center.
When I converted the .ps to .pdf using convert in gsview32/ghostscript,
and
opened the result in Acrobat, it looked OK, the same as the .ps
I also found reference to a postscript special which might provide an
alternate approach, but didn't experiment with it. You could enter the
special via type 4 inline TeX at the top of the PMX file:
---
\special{papersize=11in,8.5in}%
---
but from then on you're on your own.

Hi,
could anybody please tell me, how to influence the paper format when
typesetting music with PMX?
Thanks and regards,
Dieter
