A document may contain multiple pieces of music and texts. Examples
of these are an etude book, or an orchestral part with multiple
movements. Each movement is entered with a \score block,
\score {
..music..
}
and texts are entered with a \markup block,
\markup {
..text..
}
The movements and texts are combined together in a \book block,
like
\book {
\score {
..
}
\markup {
..
}
\score {
..
}
}
The header for each piece of music can be put inside the \score
block. The piece name from the header will be printed before
each movement. The title for the entire book can be put inside the
\book, but if it is not present, the \header which is at
the top of the file is inserted.
\book {
\header {
title = "Eight miniatures"
composer = "Igor Stravinsky"
}
\score {
...
\header { piece = "Romanze" }
}
\markup {
..text of second verse..
}
\markup {
..text of third verse..
}
\score {
...
\header { piece = "Menuetto" }
}
}
