Hello list, I'm creating scores for my choir and because some of us use duplex printers, they would like an empty page at the beginning. So I thought "Why not have a nice title page there?", But because the majority does not use duplex printers, I want the default title still visible. (Also because I couldn't find out how to insert a blank page with lilypond only without heavy research into how to get the headers onto page 2.)
after some searching I found a snippet¹ which creates a suitable title page.
But then of course the default header on the score's first page were gone.
So I have had a look at the code and found
scoreTitleMarkup = \markup \null
I played with it, found out where defaults were defined (titling-init.ly) and
copied them from there to my snippet, which gave me what I needed. (though I
deleted the on-the-fly part, because it gave me a Guile error). So now I have
a title page and, on the following page, the default header with title and
composer.
But there is one last thing:
How can I get the copyright notice on the second page instead of the first?
Again, I looked at titling-init.ly, and found oddFooterMarkup=...
So I also copied it to my document and exchanged odd and even headers, so the
copyright would appear on page 2 of the PDF. But I only found things like
#not-last-page, #first-page, etc, but not how to check for a certain number.
On the other hand, because I don't fancy editing default code and keeping that
around for later, I would perfer an alternative which would let me use said
snippet for the title page, and then have lilypond deal with the following
code as if it would be starting a new document. (As if using two different
books, but get them into one file).
