You may have to hack the function that builds the pages (the page-breaking function set in the \paper block). See scm/layout-page-layout.scm. But this is not trivial. A page is created, then filled with lines (text or music systems). When the page is created, the footer and header are also created (using the markups defined in ly/titling-init.ly), so that the spacing function should know how much space is left on the page for the lines. But you want to change the footer or header depending on what is on page, that is after it has been filled, and thus after the header and footers have been created. So you have to create them again, and make sure there is still enough space for all the lines, etc. Or: you define your header and footer markup so that they always take the same space. (then the lines already on the page still fit on it). I'm not sure that what I wrote is crystal clear. nicolas _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
