Re: Lilypond-book: Adjust left page margin

[Daniel Dieterle]

Hi,

my problem is solved.

I had a \markup command in my song-ly file. The markup was placed on the left hand of the staff which introduced the additional space on the left page margin.

Thanks for your time and reading my posts,
Daniel.

Hi,

I don't understand very well your problem but there are several things:
Either it is a problem with indent.
or you're in a book class and by default Latex takes in account an inner
margin value depending of the left or right page.
or you can put a \textwidth = 510pt in your preambule
or finally if you're including a separate .ly file:
\renewcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\linebreak \vspace{12pt}}
 \lilypondfile[staffsize=20,indent=1.5\cm,line-width=510\pt]{your-song.ly}
Play around with the values, of course.
May be someone on the list would be able to explain you better than me.

Phil.
