This will be *extremely* useful when writing
Notation 4 Spacing issues.

We've had a doc editor doing bugger-all for the past two weeks because nobody
cooked up this 8-line python patch.

Please review.  I'm pushing it in 24 hours unless somebody screams.

Graham, thanks.

Do we not want to make a custom edit in the .scm file also?

Perhaps, with a size of height 35mm. This was about the minimum size I was able
to create the default 'This is a scale in LilyPond' PDF created from the first
time you run the binary that also includes space for the tagline.

Or maybe A8 *is* small enough?

a10 is 26mm by 37m.  c10 is 28 by 40mm.  pa10 is 26mm by 35mm.

*shrug*

if one of those isn't small enough (also don't forget about landscape
size if that's useful), it's easy to add another one.  But I believe
in small, well-focused patches.  Let's get this pushed, then you
should be able to play around and let me know what else you need.

Cheers,
- Graham

Must be like very thin toilet tissue.   Is it perforated?
