Next: Page formatting, Previous: Selecting notation font size, Up: Paper output
To change the paper size, there are two 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 \book
, then the paper size will only
apply to that book.
The following paper sizes are supported: a6
, a5
, a4
,
a3
, legal
, letter
, tabloid
.
If the symbol landscape
is supplied as an argument to
set-default-paper-size
, the pages will be rotated by 90 degrees,
and wider line widths will be set correspondingly.
#(set-default-paper-size "a6" 'landscape)
