Re: Fit to one/n pages

[Mark Probert]

Thanks, Jean and Kieren

Okay. I did that and when I move the \paper (yes, my bad, I did write \page) into the \bookpart it generates a separate PDF for each \bookpart, which I think kind of defeats the purpose of a \bookpart.

Here is a slightly convoluted example of my input by way of example (in reality these elements are spread over different files and included to create the output). I can get around this with externally by combining the PDFs, but I wonder if there is something I’m doing wrong here

—

\version "2.24"

tune-hdr = \header {

  title = "Foo Bar"

  composer = "Whoisit"

}

melody = \relative c' {

  \clef treble

  \key d \minor

  \time 4/4

  a2 bes4 c | d2 ees8 c d bes |

}

tune = \score {

  \new Staff      \melody

}

page-_one_ = \paper {

  page-count = 1

}

song-_one_ = \bookpart {

  \page-one

  \tocItem \markup "Song One"

  \tune-hdr

  \tune

}

song-two = \bookpart {

  \page-one

  \tocItem \markup "Song Two"

  \tune-hdr

  \tune

}

\markuplist \table-of-contents

\pageBreak

\song-one

\song-two

Thanks again!

Jean,

Following on. If my understanding is correct, each \book has a single

\page.

Did you mean \paper?

So if my score consists of multiple \bookparts and I adjust the \page

block, that impacts all the \bookparts?

Yes, it means each bookpart has the specified number of pages.

\version "2.24.0"

\paper {
  page-count = 2
}

\bookpart {
  \repeat unfold 20 { c'1 }
}

\bookpart {
  \repeat unfold 20 { c'1 }
}

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

pages?

Just move \paper inside \bookpart.

\version "2.24.0"

\bookpart {
  \paper {
    page-count = 2
  }
  \repeat unfold 20 { c'1 }
}

\bookpart {
  \repeat unfold 20 { c'1 }
}


HTH,
