Re: Printing onto A3

Not directly in Lilypond...

However, I did write a small Java class that does what you want from an 
original PDF source (controlling the open source iText Java-PDF 
classes), and I use it all the time. [In fact, on OS X, I've installed 
it as a PDF Service, which means I can print directly to a booklet from 
the Print dialog of any native OS X app!]

Currently it only creates a "simple" booklet -- i.e., double the 
original page size in opposite orientation, optimized for end page, 1 
always on left, no margin adjustments) -- but I am planning to include 
more complex options (e.g., margin adjustment and gutter drift, quarto 
with source rotation, etc.) in a future version.

I'm happy to send you (or anyone) the code/class, if it would help.

Best regards,
Kieren.
