Re: Fit to one/n pages

[Mark Probert]

Jean,

Following on. If my understanding is correct, each \book has a single \page. So if my score consists of multiple \bookparts and I adjust the \page block, that impacts all the \bookparts? 

Is there a way to force an individual \bookpart to a given number of pages?

Hi.

At the moment I’m doing quite a few lead sheets. The slightly unfortunate thing is some of these tunes are a stave or two over a page in length. 

I thought I’d reach out and see if there is such a thing as a macro or music function like \fitToOnePage that would fit in a layout/page and can automatically resize the items to live on that single page.

Any help appreciated

See https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/other-paper-variables

It’s as easy as

\paper {

  page-count = 1

}

Best
