Re: Help in setting up music fragments in LaTeX

[Mats Bengtsson]

The linewidth option should do it. Try something like:

\lilypond[notime,26pt,linewidth=2.5in]
 { \clef alto c'4  }

A good alternative is

\lilypond[notime,26pt,fragment]
 { \clef alto c'4  }

I don't know anything about the labels style, but it seems that
you will have to fiddle with some parameters since the vertical
spacing breaks.
