RE: LP printing problems

[Anthony Youngman]

I'm guessing you're in America. What size is your output pdf? A4? If it
is and you tell the printer to print unscaled, then you're losing the
bottom 2/3" of the page.

First way round that is to tell acrobat to "scale page to fit printer".
Second way is to look at the relevant section of the manual (section 10?
11?) which will tell you how to change the paper size to American
Letter.

As for making everything bigger, change the font size. There's a section
in the manual on doing exactly that - scaling the output for scores,
whatever. Look up "feta" - it might well be in the index, or search the
pdf manual for it. It'll be obvious when you've found the right section,
there's a table of the different font sizes and what they're recommended
for.

Cheers,
Wol

Subject: LP printing problems

Greetings:

  I've written some music for flute, guitar, and harp, it's on-line at 
http://linux-sound.org/dlp-music-lilypond/gfhtrio4/gfhtrio4.html. The 
score is naturally three staves (the harpist is a novice, her part fits 
in a single clef), and the printout is lovely. Alas, the printout is 
also cutting off the last staff from each page. The printing continues 
at the start of the next page, i.e., the missing staff is simply gone 
(not continued on the next page). My question: How do I solve that 
problem from LP ? Is there a \paper directive I should use ? If so, 
which one ? Or is this a printer problem ?

  The printer is a recently acquired HP 6540, it's fast and its output 
is excellent. I'm hoping the problem isn't with the printer. :(

  Second problem: The printout is a little too small for some of 
students, how can I adjust the size of the printed elements ? Again, is 
there a global LP command that will print everything in a larger font & 
text (and handle the page breaks appropriately) ?

Best regards,

dp
