David, Putting a "\pagebreak" after the first header and before the first score seems to accomplish what you want.

I have used \header blocks for title, composer etc., and these are working as I would wish. However, I should like to produce a separate title page which precedes the music, but everything I have tried so far doesn't work. Usually I either get additional text added to the first page of music, or I get no title above the music itself. Of course, I could easily create a title page in LibreOffice or similar, but as LilyPond seems to have sufficient markup capabilities to do anything I am likely to want on a title page, it seems a shame not to keep the whole thing in the one place. What I would like to do is to have some items (e.g. title, composer) appearing on page 1, and some of the same ones appearing above the music which starts on page 2 (or perhaps page 3 in some cases). I imagine it is possible to set things up so that the data only appears once in the file - e.g. "Title" appears once in the .ly file, but appears both on the title page (page 1) and on the first page of music. Here is an abbreviated example of one of my efforts: \version "2.18.0" \book { \paper { indent = 0\mm scoreTitleMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { \null \fontsize #3 \bold \fromproperty #'header:piece \null } } first-page-number = #2 } \header { title = "Partita" subtitle = "for solo marimba" } \score { { c'1 c' } \header { piece = "I. Allemande" } \layout { } } \pageBreak \score { { d'1 d' } \header { piece = "II. Courante" } \layout { } } } How should I alter this to get a title page showing "Partita" and "for solo marimba" on a title page preceding the music pages?
