Re: Request for Engraving Suggestions

[Bill Mooney]

Greetings!
Having read the posts about this, and assuming you have upgraded to 
v14., I can offer the paper-block below, which can be pasted into your 
.ly file.
I think the values chosen give a reasonable on-page appearance...
Thanks to Reinhold Kainhofer for allowing us use of his code from his 
website - it is an invaluable resource!
Hope this helps
Regards
Bill

\paper {
%#(set-paper-size "a4")
%this commented out because it occurs in RK's section below

%left-margin = 20\mm %it's interesting to see how large this can be set!
%right-margin = 15\mm
%tinkering with thse two values is useful if binding margins are needed.
%NB these are superfluous if 'two-sided' is ON - see below
        
%top-margin = 10\mm

markup-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 10) (minimum-distance . 10) 
(padding . 2) (stretchability . 50))
system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 20) (minimum-distance . 20) 
(padding . 2) (stretchability . 50))
%tinkering with these values allows any fine tuning - 'ad lib' :)

%\ragged-bottom ##f
%this commented out because it occurs in RK's section below

two-sided=##t
inner-margin = 30\mm
outer-margin = 20\mm
%binding-offset = 40\mm
%these are added here in case you want to have double-sided printout
