7.5.10 Paper size

To change the paper size, there are two equal commands,

#(set-default-paper-size "a4")
\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a4")
}

The first command sets the size of all pages. The second command sets the size of the pages that the \paper block applies to – if the \paper block is at the top of the file, then it will apply to all pages. If the \paper block is inside a \score, then the paper size will only apply to that score.

The following paper sizes are supported: a6, a5, a4, a3, legal, letter, tabloid.

If the symbol landscape is supplied as argument to set-default-paper-size, the pages will be rotated 90 degrees, and line widths will be set longer correspondingly.

#(set-default-paper-size "a6" 'landscape)
