Node:Paper size, Next:, Previous:Font Size, Up:Page layout



Paper size

To change the paper size, you must first set the papersize paper variable variable. Set it to the strings a4, letter, or legal. After this specification, you must set the font as described above. If you want the default font, then use the 20 point font.

        \paper {papersize = "a4" }
        \include "paper16.ly"

The file paper16.ly will now include a file named a4.ly, which will set the paper variables hsize and vsize (used by Lilypond and ly2dvi)
