Re: 2 pages on 1 ?

Thanks for the suggestions, David & Dmytro.

Have never worked with postscript. Will try that and pdflatex too.
Agreed, scripting will be useful for repeated jobs.

Perhaps we could create a latex document with an appropriate layout,
and embed lilypond within the columns. Anyways, still something like
"Columns = 3" in the score header will be sweet :)
