Re: Re:getting musical examples to an exact textwidth with a style file

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that.  It's done in the Lilypond documentation either 
by setting paper as part of the lilypond call, or explicitly in the example. 
e.g:

@lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right]
...
 \paper {
   paper-width = 100\mm
   paper-height = 100\mm
   tagline = ##f
 }
}
@end lilypond


@lilypond[papersize=c7landscape,verbatim,noragged-right]
@lilypond[papersize=a6landscape,quote,verbatim,noragged-right]

If you put the examples inside a \book block, you can specify system spacing 
with normal lilypond commands, and the images are kept together on the page.


I tried that and ended up with a full page example instead of a cropped 
system.  Does using \book mean I have to manually set the page size to the 
size of the example?


For example, the following fairly minimal example compiled to a pdf of 3 
pages, even though it is only a single note.  I can add a \paper block but 
it's not immediately obvious how to crop the whole example.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{lilypond}
\book {
 \score {
   \new Staff {
     \relative f { c'1 }
   }
 }
}
\end{lilypond}
\end{document}
