Horizontal dimensions

Note: If paper-width is manually set, line-width, left-margin, indent, and short-indent may have to be adjusted as well.

There are a few variables that determine the horizontal dimensions on a page:

horizontal-shift

The amount that all systems (including titles and system separators) are shifted to the right. Default: 0.0.

indent

The level of indentation for the first system in a score. Default: paper-width divided by 14, as determined by set-default-paper-size or set-paper-size.

left-margin

The margin between the left edge of the page and the beginning of each system. Default: 10\mm, as determined by set-default-paper-size or set-paper-size.

line-width

The width of music systems. Default: paper-width minus 20\mm, as determined by set-default-paper-size or set-paper-size.

paper-width

The width of the page. Default: the width of the current paper size. For details, see Paper size.

short-indent

The level of indentation for all systems in a score besides the first system. Default: 0, as determined by set-default-paper-size or set-paper-size.

Known issues and warnings

The option right-margin is defined but doesn't set the right margin yet. The value for the right margin has to be defined by adjusting the values of left-margin and line-width.
