Re: lilypond-book linewidth: unwanted space at the left of the Staff

[Marek Klein]

Hi robert,

2010/6/9 Robert Memering <address@hidden>

Dear all,

I have the following problem with the line-width parameter used by lilypond-book:
When I specify the line-width to be exactly the same as my LaTeX \textwidth, the resulting small generated PDFs which are embedded have the right size, but there is some unwanted empty space at the left of the Staff, making the actual line of music a little smaller. I would rather have the Staff be of exactly the specified width. By the way, the result is the same when lilypond-book guesses the line-width automatically.

Have you tried to set indent to 0?
