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
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97727771/chaconne_a2-canon_analysis.pdf>,
the other in four
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97727771/chaconne_a4-canon_analysis.pdf>.
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
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97727771/Chaccone%20Rondo.mp3>,
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.
