Re: Titling and spacing

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that nobody answered your question yet.
Actually, the lilypond command doesn't provide that much
flexibility in the layout. If you want more freedom to
adjust the layout yourself, I recommend to use lilypond-book
instead. Also, the situation is fairly different in the latest
development versions and in the next stable version, 2.4, that
will appear very soon now. There, all the layout is done from
within LilyPond, whereas it earlier was partly done by LaTeX,
and there are more possibilities to control the layout.
