Thanks again Xavier. You are very patient - I have just sat down at my up-to-date computer and the difference between the versions' functionality is enormous. If I'd realised, I would have bitten the bullet and had fewer questions and taken up less of everyone's time. My apologies. Out of interest, is there somewhere that tells me the last version of Lilypond that would run on Windows 8.1. Perhaps there is a sweet spot for me - my layout requirements are largely satisfied by these very simple layouts. ________________________________ From: Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> Sent: 14 May 2024 14:08 To: Giles Boardman <giles.board...@hotmail.co.uk> Cc: Kieren MacMillan <kie...@kierenmacmillan.info>; lilypond-user@gnu.org <lilypond-user@gnu.org> Subject: Re: Naming lines of music

Hello, See Timothy's answer (left-edge and link to IR). \override Score.RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols = #'(clef) \override Score.RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols = #'(time-signature) https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/aligning-objects#using-the-break_002dalignable_002dinterface https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/aligning-objects#using-the-break_002dalignable_002dinterface You could also change the break-align-anchor-alignment of KeySignature (NR same reference). > Or is there a line title, like the variables for "Composer" Piece" etc. I > looked, but I haven't found anything obvious. I would use "piece", but actually you could even define your own custom header field and custom layout for titles. https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/custom-titles-headers-and-footers#custom-layout-for-titles Kind regards, Xavier
