Would you prefer to treat it as an option like 'landscape? E.g.: #(set-default-paper-size "manuscript" 'manualfeed) My impression is that this is just an extra option that won't benefit anyone and would cause confusion, since I don't think anyone would not want that option.
Sounds like a good solution to me, ie. have all optional boolean settings as boolean args to set-default-paper-size. People can then also use 'manualfeed for any other format of paper that is unlikely to be in a tray.
No, there's not. I'll gladly consider well written patches to deal with arbitrary paper sizes. The relevant code is in paper.scm ; there needs to be variant ofIs there a reason you don't want to output the /PageSize info?set-paper-sizewhich can deal with dimensions, eg. of the form (set-paper-size '((9 . in) (12 . in)) 'landscape)This is a different problem, and one that seems a little less critical to solve. It's easy enough for people to edit paper-alist to add new paper types. The problem I'm concerned with is once you do that (or if you defined a set-paper-size that understood dimensions), LilyPond doesn't output the paper size in the pagedevice dictionary, so printers do not select the correct size paper.
Well, I'll consider patches for that too :-) -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - address@hidden - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen LilyPond Software Design -- Code for Music Notation http://www.lilypond-design.com
