big pages

[David Raleigh Arnold]

I stuck this in my working directory of a lilypond-book
document and got a good result.  Unfortunately Dr. Leslie
Lamport was unacquainted with the convention that there
is supposed to be a relationship between the desirable
leading of lines in paragraphs, the number of characters
per line, and the number of *columns*,
when the blocks of text are separated by something
such as vertical spaces or music.

My doc has mostly short paragraphs.  So does the
lilypond documentation.

IOW, I was wasting too much paper.

I'm sure someone (Like Laura C.) can improve on this but it
worked for me, and the result goes in a binder really
well.  I just changed some numbers.

% those values. If your output driver conforms to the TeX standard
(1in/1in),
% then you should add the following commands to center the text on A4

% \advance\hoffset by -3mm  % A4 is narrower.
