Paper variables
The paper block has some variables you may want to use or change:
indent- The indentation of the first line of music.
staffspace- The distance between two staff lines, calculated from the center
of the lines.
linewidth- Sets the width of the lines.
If set to a negative value, a single unjustified line is produced. The shorthand
\singleLinedefines a default paper block that produces a single line. textheight- Sets the total height of the music on each page. Only used by
ly2dvi. interscoreline- Sets the spacing between systems. The default is 16pt.
interscorelinefill- If set to a positive number, the distance between the score
lines will stretch in order to fill the full page. In that
case
interscorelinespecifies the minimum spacing.Not set by default.
stafflinethickness- Determines the thickness of staff lines, and also acts as a scaling parameter for other line thicknesses.
You may enter these dimension using units (cm, in,
mm, pt), or relative to another dimension
linewidth = 20.0 * \staffspace
indent = 0.5 \cm
