Hello,
I was wondering how to create a footer. The documentation talks about
them, but it never says how to make them. So far, I've only been able
to make a footer by using tagline in the header.
The following does not work, or compile for that matter:
\footer
{
poet = "some poet"
composer = "some composer"
}
As has already been pointed out, the word "header" in \header{...} shouldn't
be interpreted verbatim. In the \header{...} block you can include all
kind of
information related to titling, page headers and page footers.
By default, you can only specify the footer of the first page (using
copyright = ...)
and last page (using tagline = ...). If you want footers on every page, you
have to redefine how footers are printed, see information at the bottom of
the page of "Creating Titles" and the default implementations in the file
/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.4/ly/titling-init.ly or wherever your LilyPond
installation resides.
Also, I was wondering how to make line breaks in a header or footer.
Use text markup (i.e. the \markup{...} command).
I was also wondering how to make additional pieces of text in a header
or footer.
I mean, if I want something besides the poet or composer--like a
reference, and/or a copyright notice, for example--or even just a
note. I mean,
\header
{
otherHeaderItem = "this or that"
}
The only field that's printed in the page header by default is the
"instrument"
(from page 2 and on). Otherwise, you have to redefine the default
layout, see
above.
