Re: Different Raster Size for every page

[Nils Gey]

Sorry for the confusion.

What I really mean is a simple question:
I want page 1/2 size 16 and page 2/2 size 18 because its the last page and has 
fewer notes.

Note: Not really "I" but "he" or "someone". For me aestethics would prevent 
such a thing, but maybe there really is a case where this is needed to express 
the music.
