Lilypond has configurable paper size and margins. This was sufficient for me
to produce a short collection of hymns that is readable on a small e-book
reader without scaling.
Depending on the intended use, there are other ways of saving space for even
smaller screens.
* reduce the output to one staff with selected parts (put other parts in a
separate file or separate sections of the book)
* unfold all verses so that there is only one line of lyrics (assuming you will
never print the e-book version)
My little project was preempted before I tried those latter ideas, but I was
planning to include some hyperlinks to skip verses quickly. I thought it would
be nice to have them in a column along one side of the display, but I’m not
sure how that might be accomplished.
