Re: margins

[Shane Brandes]

Indeed I did.  And somehow that never occured to me. 

Thanks,

Hi all,

Today I was working on a project and I tried setting the top and bottom margins in the paperblock in the 2.24.0 version. Nothing changed so I ended up editing the paper-defaults-init.ly. That caused the change I wanted, but why isn't  the paper block part working? The side margins work just fine. It is odd and was a time waster finding a workaround. Any explanations?

regards,

Shane

I suspect you set the paper-size AFTER the top-margin

Working:

{ c' }

\paper {

    #(set-paper-size "a4")

    top-margin = 60

}

Not working:

{ c' }

\paper {

    top-margin = 60

    #(set-paper-size "a4")

}
