See the manual for version 2.7, section Creating Titles (the information was not in 2.6 manual. It might work with 2.6; if not you may want to upgrade.) > 2.

There is also a more generic but difficult solution: You can produce the titles with third-party software, either through lilypond-book + latex, or by letting lilypond export an EPS file which you import to openoffice. > I would also like to > insert a comment so that there are no bar numbers visible (since any > non-critical information is a distraction I'd like to avoid). I think there are examples in either Tips&Tricks or Regression Tests about how to control bar number visibility. (search for barNumberVisibility).
