Agreed.

Could be the latter… =\
Let’s put it this way: a quick survey of various scores from "the good houses”
(Barenreiter, Henle, Peters, etc.) reveal a minimum [!!] side-margin-to-width
ratio of 16mm:225mm = ~0.071, or 15.3mm proportionally on a U.S. letter page.
So I think 15mm would be a fine place to start.
Cheers,
Kieren.
