This is what I use (I believe I got it from the LSR, with some modifications): \version "2.18.2"
% time macro used to insert date in header date = #(strftime "%m/%d/%Y" (localtime (current-time))) \header { title = "Title" tagline = "" copyright = \markup { \center-column { \bold \line { "Copyright" \char ##x00A9 "2014" } \line { "Revision Date:" \italic \date } } } } \score { { c'1 } } With this I don't have to remember to change the revision date. The function updates to today every time the document is engraved. You can tweak the date format in the function to whatever your preference is. This is set up to put the revision date right under the copyright notice but you can alter that, too, with the suggestions above. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Footnote-Question-tp165372p165505.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
