Thanks for the suggestion. The nature of the project is presentation of
historical electrical drawings (on scans or paper, from the Apollo
Project) into CAD files, in a way that preserves not only their
electrical characteristics but the details of their appearance to the
extent possible. Therefore, details like paper size, division into
pages, etc., are not under our control; they were decided 50 years ago.

It seems to me that this is an important way in which an open-source
schematic editor can be used, though obviously if you haven't received
complaints like mine before it must not be something that too many
people are doing with it. :-)
