Hey all,
in http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3023 I wrote:
I'm not too sure what "Automatic scaling to paper size" means
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/paper-size-and-automatic-scaling).
Does it mean that only some \paper variables are scaled to the new size or
is the function supposed to scale up/down the staff size / note symbols and
titles as well?
I tried to scale down
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ioo4waiconj443v/04-GoTellItOnTheMountain.ly via
the command line (LilyPond v2.17.8):
$ lilypond -dpaper-size=\"a6\" 04-GoTellItOnTheMountain.ly
This is the result:

The titles, the tagline and the staves / note symbols still seem to have the
same size. The staves weren't scaled down but rather cut in two.
I got the same result when I included one of the following commands directly
in the .ly file:
#(set-default-paper-size "a6")
Here is another example:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/waso6zxtp8dw2v9/JSB_BWV1047_1_pls.ly and here is
the result of
$lilypond -dpaper-size=\"a7\" JSB_BWV1047_1_pls.ly

Loads of collisions. The staff size is not scaled down to the paper size…

Read further:
"The vertical dimensions affected by automatic scaling are top-margin and
bottom-margin (see Fixed vertical spacing \paper variables). The horizontal
dimensions affected by automatic scaling are left-margin,right-margin,
inner-margin, outer-margin,binding-offset, indent, and short-indent "
