Newscore and newpage
</H2>
<P>
Normally, Mup determines how many measures to put on each score and how many
scores to put on each page. You can force Mup to move to the next score with
the "newscore" statement, or to the next page with a "newpage" statement.
Here is an example:
<BR><PRE>
1: c;d;e;f;
bar
1: e;f;g;;
bar
newscore // go to next score
1: 2c;;
bar
1: e;f;g;;
bar
newpage // go to next page
1: e;g;2c;
bar
</PRE><BR>
</P>
<P>
You can temporarily change the indent for the new score
by specifying "leftmargin=<I>num</I>," where <I>num</I> is a
number of inches or centimeters (depending on the current setting of
<A HREF="param.html#units">the "units" parameter.)</A>
The number may include a decimal fraction part (e.g. 8.5).
The number can optionally be preceded by an plus or minus sign,
in which case the number is taken as an amount to add or subtract from
the normal margin, rather than as the actual margin value.
The new score will then be indented by that much, overriding the value
of
<A HREF="param.html#leftmar">the leftmargin parameter.</A>
</P>
<P>
In a similar way, you can specify "rightmargin=<I>num</I>," which
will affect
<A HREF="param.html#rightmar">the right margin</A>
on the <B>previous</B> score. This might
be used, for example, if you want a piece to end with a
shorter than normal score.
<BR><PRE>
newscore leftmargin=1.2 rightmargin=2.7
</PRE><BR>
The equals sign is optional in these margin overrides.
</P>
<P>
For rightmargin, you can specify rightmargin=auto rather than giving a
number. In that case, Mup will calculate the appropriate value to use
to make the music on the previous score spaced based on the
<A HREF="param.html#packexp">packexp</A>
and
<A HREF="param.html#packfact">packfact</A>
parameters, without spreading to fill the line.
