Behaviour of landscape with given page height/width

[brdvd]

Suppose in Verovio I want to have a page in landscape that is extra wide. The straightforward approach would be --landscape --page-width 5000.

However, to get the expected result, one needs to use --landscape --page-height 5000, since Verovio takes the page height/width options first and applies a rotation afterwards depending on landscape.

What would be the desired behaviour of the --landscape option with given --page-width/--page-height from a user perspective?

I agree this is confusing. The --landscape option actually only swaps height and width. It is a very old option. Maybe we should just deprecate/remove it?

Actually I use it a lot (I might be the only person). Maybe it suffices to clarify the behaviour in the description of the option, i.e. that it swaps the page height and width values.
