GENERAL GUIDELINES
* Do not forget to create @cindex entries for new sections of text.
-Enter commands with @funindex, i.e.
-@funindex \relative
-do not bother with the @code{} (they are added automatically). These
-items are added to both the command index and the unified index.
+ Enter commands with @findex, i.e.
+ @findex \relative
+ do not bother with the @code{} (they are added automatically). These
+ items are added to both the command index and the unified index.
* The use of the word `illegal' is inappropriate in most cases. Say
`invalid' instead.
The contents of the titles are taken from the @code{\header} blocks.
The header block for a book supports the following
+
+
@table @code
+@findex dedication
@item dedication
The dedicatee of the music, centered at the top of the first page.
+@findex title
@item title
The title of the music, centered just below the dedication.
+@findex subtitle
@item subtitle
Subtitle, centered below the title.
+@findex subsubtitle
@item subsubtitle
Subsubtitle, centered below the subtitle.
+@findex poet
@item poet
Name of the poet, flush-left below the subtitle.
+@findex composer
@item composer
Name of the composer, flush-right below the subtitle.
+@findex meter
@item meter
Meter string, flush-left below the poet.
+@findex opus
@item opus
Name of the opus, flush-right below the composer.
+@findex arranger
@item arranger
Name of the arranger, flush-right below the opus.
+@findex instrument
@item instrument
Name of the instrument, centered below the arranger. Also
centered at the top of pages (other than the first page).
+@findex piece
@item piece
Name of the piece, flush-left below the instrument.
@cindex page breaks, forcing
+@findex breakbefore
@item breakbefore
This forces the title to start on a new page (set to ##t or ##f).
+@findex copyright
@item copyright
Copyright notice, centered at the bottom of the first page. To
insert the copyright symbol, see @ref{Text encoding}.
+@findex tagline
@item tagline
Centered at the bottom of the last page.
@findex annotate-spacing
@cindex Spacing, display of properties

-be altered for page formatting, use
+To graphically display the dimensions of vertical properties

-All units dimensions are measured in staff spaces. The pairs
+@c FIXME: really bad vagueness due to bug in annotate-spacing. -gp
+Some unit dimensions are measured in staff spaces, while others
+are measured in millimeters.
+The pairs
(@var{a},@var{b}) are intervals, where @var{a} is the lower edge and
@var{b} the upper edge of the interval.
@cindex international characters
@cindex latin1
+Sometimes it is useful to display music elements (such as ties and slurs)
+as if they continued after the end of the fragment. This can be done by
+breaking the staff and suppressing inclusion of the rest of the lilypond
+output.
+
+In La@TeX{}, define @code{\betweenLilyPondSystem} in such a way that
+inclusion of other systems is terminated once the required number of
+systems are included. Since @code{\betweenLilypondSystem} is first
+called @b{after} the first system, including only the first system
+is trivial.
+
+@example
+\def\betweenLilyPondSystem#1@{\endinput@}
+
+\begin[fragment]@{lilypond@}
+ c'1\( e'( c'~ \break c' d) e f\)
+\end@{lilypond@}
+@end example
+
+If a greater number of systems is requested, a TeX conditional must be
+used before the @code{\endinput}. In this example, replace "2" by
+the numer of systems you want in the output,
+
+@example
+\def\betweenLilyPondSystem#1@{
+ \ifnum##1<2\else\endinput\fi
+@}
+@end example
+
+Remember that the definition of @code{\betweenLilyPondSystem} is
+effective until @TeX{} quits the current group (such as the La@TeX{}
+environment) or is overridden by another definition (which is, in
+most cases, for the rest of the document). To reset your
+definition, write
+
+@example
+\let\betweenLilyPondSystem\undefined
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+in your LaTeX source.
+
+This may be simplified by defining a @TeX{} macro
+
+@example
+\def\onlyFirstNSystems#1@{
+ \def\betweenLilyPondSystem##1@{\ifnum##1<#1\else\endinput\fi@}
+@}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+and then saying only how many systems you want before each fragment,
+
+@example
+\onlyFirstNSystems@{3@}
+\begin@{lilypond@}...\end@{lilypond@}
+\onlyFirstNSystems@{1@}
+\begin@{lilypond@}...\end@{lilypond@}
+@end example

+Sometimes you can end up with one or two staves on a second
+(or third, or fourth...) page. This is annoying, especially
+if you look at previous pages and it looks like there is plenty
+of room left on those.
+
+When investigating layout issues, @code{annotate-spacing} is
+an invaluable tool. This command prints the values of various
+layout spacing commands; see @ref{Page formatting} for more
+details.

+@noindent
+From this output, we can see which margins we may wish to alter.
+
+Other than margins, there are a few other options to save space:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+You may tell LilyPond to place systems as close together as
+possible (to fit as many systems as possible onto a page), but
+then to space those systems out so that there is no blank
+space at the bottom of the page.
+
+@example
+\paper @{
+between-system-padding = #0.5
+ragged-last-bottom = ##f
+ragged-bottom = ##f
+@}
+@end example
+
+@item
+You may force the number of systems (i.e. if LilyPond wants
+to typeset some music with 11 systems, you could force it to
+use 10).
+
+@example
+\paper @{
+system-count = #10
+@}
+@end example
+
+@item
+Avoid (or reduce) objects which increase the vertical size of
+a system. For example, volta repeats (or alternate repeats)
+require extra space. If these repeats are spread over two
+systems, they will take up more space than one system with
+the volta repeats and another system without.
+
+Another example is moving dynamics which ``stick out'' of
+a system.
