|
<h2>Generating PDF Output</h2>
|
|
|
|
While the VocalEasel editing window does not look particularly nice,
|
|
VocalEasel uses the LilyPond system to produce beautiful PDF and print output:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To print, use the <i>Print</i> menu item.</li>
|
|
<li>To preview the print output, click the <i>Preview</i> icon.</li>
|
|
<li>To save a song as a PDF file, use the <i>Save As...</i> menu item and
|
|
select <i>PDF</i> from the <i>File Format</i> popup menu.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
All of these tasks need to run LilyPond to create the output format, a process
|
|
which can take up to a minute or so.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Fine Tuning the Output</h2>
|
|
|
|
To change the absolute size of the music printed or the relative sizes of the chord symbols or lyrics, click the <i>Display</i> icon at the top right of the window:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><i>Staff Size</i> (default 20) determines the overall size of the music.</li>
|
|
<li><i>Chord Size</i> (default 6) determines the font size for chord symbols.</li>
|
|
<li><i>Lyrics Size</i> (default 0) determines the font size for the lyrics.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
All of these sizes can be specified as floating point numbers if desired.
