I was reading the archives on how to define a custom page size, and
I'm a little confused as to whether the issue was resolved, meaning,
I've read the archives, and tried the suggestions there, but still
cannot output my page size.
I've added to the file "paper.scm" the line
("octavo" . (cons (* 6.75 in) (* 10.5 in)))
and the music is typeset to those dimensions, but the paper is still
a4 size.
To be clear, my input file has
\paper { #(set-paper-size "octavo") }
#(set-default-paper-size "octavo")
I'm just wondering if there's some aspect that I'm missing.
And just to check, I ran the postscript through Preview, and got the
same output.
Thanks tons,
James

Are you on Windows? If so you need to tell the operating system that
"octavo" is a new form. To do this go to:
Settings / Control Panel / Printers
From this dialog box go to the File menu and select "Server
Properties"
On that dialog check the box that says "Create a new Form"
At that point create your "octavo" form with the sizing you want
and save it
with the name "octavo".
Now the operating system and your printer drivers can play nice and
both
understand this new form.
