Bigger Output for Vision-Impaired Users

[Matthew T. Atkinson]

'ello,

I've only been using lilypond for a short while and have already found
it very useful.  I'm writing to ask a question about how the output of
the program might be modified slightly.

I am vision-impaired and have been playing the Clarinet for a number of
years.  When I was at school, my music was always photocopied so it was
on A3 instead of A4 paper.  This allowed me to see it well enough to
learn it.  Since I left school (I'm now at University) I've not really
had much new music because of the cost/time of having to photocopy it.

I was wondering if I could alter the output of lilypond so that it still
uses A4 paper but makes the music (well, everything it outputs) 1.41
times as large - so that it is as big as my old A3 music is (though on
many more pages).  If anyone knows of a way I could do this, I'd be
grateful for information about it.  I am reasonably familiar with TeX so
if it requires some low-level tinkering I should be able to manage that.

It would probably be best for the output to be landscape on A4 so that
the lines are long enough to be practical.  This would essentially make
it the same as my A3 music but with twice as many pages.

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have,

best regards,
