Subject: How to place a custom copyright tagline at the bottom of the first 
page only?

 

Dear LilyPond community,

I’m working on an arrangement that requires a copyright notice (tagline) to 
appear at the bottom of the first page only. The text should not appear at the 
end of the score, nor should it appear on every page.

I’ve created a minimal example using \tagline in the \header block, hoping it 
would place the text at the bottom of the first page. Here’s the minimal 
example I’m working with:

 

\version "2.24.4"

 

\paper {

  line-width = 150\mm

  

}

 

\header {

  title = "Placeholder Title"

  composer = "Words and Music by: Firstname Lastname"

  tagline = "© Placeholder Publishing Info, Placeholder Rights Administered. 
All Rights Reserved. International Copyright Secured. Used by Permission. 
Placeholder Placeholder Placeholder."

}

 

music = \repeat unfold 100 { c'4 c'4 c'4 c'4 | }





\score {

  \new Staff {

    \clef treble

    \key c \major

    \time 4/4

    \music

  }

 

}


As expected, the tagline ends up at the bottom of the last page. 

Any suggestions or workarounds on how to force this copyright line to appear at 
the bottom of the first page only would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Peter
