Poking around my system today, I noticed two interesting things about
the PDFs generated by LilyPond.

1) There is no metadata associated with the PDF.  Well, the producer
and creator are set to the appropriate software.  However, when a
top-level title is available (for a book or a score), it would be cool
to embed that in the PDF.

Which version? In 2.14 and 2.16 the title, subtitle, etc. should be added as metadata automatically.


You can put metadata fields in the header block, though this doesn't
seem to be documented in the manuals. See example below. The fields
prefaced with 'pdf' are metadata that doesn't appear in the printed output.

There are usually not needed in most cases. They allow you to insert metadata to the pdf file that are different from the displayed title etc. If you simply want the displayed title, then you don't have to do anything, lilypond will automatically add the top-level header fields as metadata (Note that header blocks of a \score or a \book are NOT used for metadata, though!)

Cheers,
Reinhold
