Hi Harm, hm, I am still not getting what I want. I fear that's what you meant by the limitations concerning the $defaultheader.
This is a minimal example to show the problem: \version "2.19.50" %%% from included file \header { author = "default author" % just in case there is no author later } \paper { oddFooterMarkup = \markup \column { \fill-line { \on-the-fly #first-page \concat { #(ly:modules-lookup (list $defaultheader) 'author "") }}}} %%% end of included file \header { author = "real author" % this is the author that should appear in the footer } { a } Can this be solved?
