Hi Federico,

I've never succeeded to do that directly with LilyPond. I had to use LaTeX..

Cheers,

If you want to go the LaTeX way you can use the following boilerplate code:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[
% set absolute paper dimensions *including bleeding area*
% in this example A4 plus 6mm (*2)
width=22.2truecm, height=30.9truecm,
% use any combination of these options to add different cut markings
cam,
axes,
%frame,
%cross,
% set the type of TeX renderer you use
pdflatex,
% center the contents
center
]{crop}
% More info with "texdoc crop"

\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}

\includepdf[pages=-]{path/to/score.pdf}

\end{document}

Hi folks

I have a urgent request.
Tomorrow morning I need to print a book and I've just been asked to add "crop marks" (I think this is the right _expression_) to the final PDF. IIUC crop marks are not needed when printing with normal printers, but it's needed for serious digital and offset printing machines.

I wonder how can I get this in LilyPond.
I didn't find anything in the documentation or the user list, except this question which got no reply:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-07/msg00319.html

I guess that I'll have to use some external applications.
Can anybody give me a hint?

Many thanks
Federico
