Dear All,

A friend of mine asked a few questions about a pipe-organ piece i'd written that was performed recently.  i ended up making two sheets of examples for him, one with a table of canons in two voices, the other in four.

When i started making these, i thought of arranging them in two columns on a single page.  To keep the numbers readable, i decided against this.  However, i remain curious.  Is it possible to divide a page into columns?  i know that text can be arranged into columns, and the Internals mention a PaperColumn and its appropriate engravers and contexts.  Having read the sections on page and score layout, i couldn't find anything that explicitly addressed this problem.  i am working (still?!) in 2.14.2, so the next step just might be an update.

If anybody wants to listen, i'd be honored.  The organist is Amelia Javorina.  i apologize for the audience noise, but it's the best that could be done given the circumstances.

Thanks, All, and please take care.

I recently typeset a piece like this - it required a lot of manual trickery, but it is doable if you use a top-level markup and the \fill-line command.  A recent command was also added by David N. that helps with this (see https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3860).

It is not automated, so it is a pain, but it comes out looking very nice - you just have to manually do new markups for new pages.

Cheers,
MS
