Re: [Denemo-devel] blank pages and whole measure rests with a fermata

[Ellen Schwindt]

Thank you, Richard. This suggestion will work. 

Recently you asked whether you could post this project (when it's completed) on the denemo page and of course--yes. Perhaps there are trombone players who are also denemo users who might come across it and play it.

Hi Ellen,

What you are asking for (a document starting with a blank page followed
by the score) is something I'm not sure is completely easy to do. So
first it would make sense to check that this is ultimately what you
want.

I would guess you are in some situation where you want the title page
and the score separate? (After all, it would make no sense to print a
document where the first sheet came out of the printer blank, you could
just as easily pick that page up from the in-tray).

If so, could the title page come complete with a blank page after it? Or
could you use a PDF editor to add a blank page at the start?

Otherwise, I think we'll need to consult the LilyPond community...
