Thanks to Reinhold and Mats, I've managed to set a hymn, SATB with piano reduction, 3 verses printed separately under each voice. The ignore melismata routine is fine but I would also like to use dotted slurs. Putting #(set-global-staff-size 14) in \paper
doesn't make any difference. How can I fit all the music on to two pages? Sorry to be such a nuisance.
