Re: [Laura Conrad] Lilypond-book problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

I just tried again with the files Laura sent 06/11/2005, just
commenting out the #(set-default-paper-size "letter"), nothing else,
and then the example works perfectly well here with the latest CVS.
(The latest change to lilypond-book that could affect this was done
06/01/2005, i.e. between 2.5.27 and 2.5.28.)

If you still see the problems, please send an example.

If you manually specify the line width using [linewidth=...] or
by explicitly setting it within the .ly code, then I can understand
the problem, since lilypond-book by default makes one .eps file for
each score line, so LaTeX might place several of them on a line.
Maybe it would be a good idea to insert a \newline between each
.eps file, at least if not \betweenLilyPondSystem is defined.
