Previous: Creating titles, Up: Titles and headers
A more advanced option is to change the definitions of the following
variables in the \paper block. The init file
ly/titling-init.ly lists the default layout.
bookTitleMarkup\book block. Typically,
it has the composer and the title of the piece
scoreTitleMarkup\score block within a
\book. Typically, it has the name of the movement (piece
field).
oddHeaderMarkupevenHeaderMarkupBy default, headers are defined such that the page number is on the outside edge, and the instrument is centered.
oddFooterMarkupevenFooterMarkupBy default, the footer has the copyright notice on the first, and the tagline on the last page.
The following definition will put the title flush left, and the composer flush right on a single line.
\paper {
bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
\fill-line {
\fromproperty #'header:title
\fromproperty #'header:composer
}
}
}
The breakbefore=##t header requires that there is a piece
header as well. It may be used as a normal header, or left blank
(="") as in the example above, but it must be present.
