Newscore and newpage

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:

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

You can temporarily change the indent for the new score by specifying "leftmargin=num," where num is a floating point number of inches or centimeters (depending on the current setting of the units parameter.) The new score will then be indented by that much, overriding the value of the leftmargin parameter.

In a similar way, you can specify "rightmargin=num," which will affect the right margin on the previous score. This might be used, for example, if you want a piece to end with a shorter than normal score.

newscore leftmargin=1.2 rightmargin=2.7
