Re: paper statements in score

[karim haddad]

Yes thanx for the reply
But this is the point of my question:
When you use lilypond-book for compiling lilypond scores in a tex book,
the doc says clearly that it does only \score statement.
If i put the \paper statement within the \score statement lilypond is  
not at all happy:

error: \paper cannot be used in \score, use \layout instead

\paper {

so the problem is to verticaly padd the systems .

how i am trying to see.

Thanx
karim
