Hi,
I'd like to make an automatic footer, using infos from the header
block.
What do I have to change, to get rid of (or override) the format from
the title?
-----8<------------------
\version "2.24.0"
{a4}
\header {
title =
\markup
\fill-line {
\override #'(font-name . "Calluna")
\abs-fontsize #22 "Title"
\null
}
composer = "Composer"
}
\paper {
oddFooterMarkup = \markup {
\fill-line {
\tiny {
{"Edited by Joei"}
\line {\fromproperty #'header:composer " - " \fromproperty
#'header:title }
"Copyright 2024"
}
}
}
}

It should be possible to strip markup down to a simple string with the
Scheme function markup->string.
%%%%
\version "2.22.0"
foo = \markup \huge \bold "Hello"
#(define-markup-command
(as-string layout props arg) (markup?)
(interpret-markup layout props (markup->string arg)))
\markup \foo
\markup \as-string \foo
%%%%
However, the best approach would be to separate content from styling.
When you define things like title, specify only the simple string value.
Place all formatting/styling commands instead within the paper
variables like bookTitleMarkup, scoreTitleMarkup, oddHeaderMarkup, etc.
Reference the file titling-init.ly within your LilyPond installation to
see what the default values are for these markup paper variables.
Copy-and-paste the default definitions and adjust to your needs. NOTE:
These are the sort of things that are best put into include files, so
you can reuse them and easily standardize your formatting across many
scores.
