Re: vertical margins in lilypond-book

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's certainly possible to let lilypond-book automatically detect the
text height of the LaTeX document and set the vsize correspondingly.
However, it's not so much use since
1. It's only relevant when you explicitly have a \book{..} in
   your .ly code (which it turn is mainly useful to be able to use
   \pagebreak in the .ly code)
2. If you already have some commands in your .ly code that affects the
   page size, then they will override the setting done by lilypond-book,
   since lilybook inserts the commands at the top of the code.
