Re: a2 paper

[James E. Bailey]

I edit the file successfully. The same file that works on windows, on macintosh 
generates a PDF that's rotated landscape. I am editing the paper.scm inside the 
lilypond app.

Here's what happens. I compile the file in lilypond, and the pdf that is 
generated is my new paper size, but the paper is rotated landscape.
If I open the postscript in preview, in renders a pdf on letter size paper (the 
default)
I can change the default paper in Adobe distiller to my new size paper and run 
the postscript through that to get the proper paper size.

Is it possible to embed the paper size in the postscript that lilypond 
generate?. That seems to be the step that's missing.
