Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right email address for this
but...
The essay http://lilypond.org/web/about/automated-engraving/
is very good, and I want to print it out to show some
musical friends who are not (yet) computerised. However, I
find it an awful struggle to print. I've tried Mozilla and
Internet Explorer and always something goes wrong with the
images, especially the comparison of the Bach - depending on
the browser version, it either straddles a page break, or
gets clipped at the right-hand margin, or gets compressed
down so as to be unreadable.
Eventually I managed to get it to print "OK-ish" by hacking
the HTML and adding WIDTH= tags as follows:
Image Added tag
---------------------------------------
baer-suite1-fullpage.png width=300
henle-suite1-fullpage.png width=300
baer-suite1-line.png width=600
henle-suite1-line.png width=600
finale-sarabande-full.png width=600
baer-sarabande.png width=600
lily14-sarabande.png width=600
lily14-sarabande-correct.png width=600
lily17-sarabande.png width=600
baer-sarabande.png width=600
but I don't really like this "solution" (besides anything
else, it only works in one particular version of IE). CSS
can do better but it's still a hack.
Would it be possible to make a "printable version" of the
essay, say in PDF (or HTML+images but made with printing in
mind)?
Thanks, Silas
