Pierre,
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with what Chris did, as
long is it works. In general, I think you are right because we know
that the default code in titling-init.ly works un-modified, then it
probably should not be changed, just for that sake. However, if someone
doesn't like the default layout of header variables, then it kind of
makes sense to me to change it since we also know that you don't have
to do anything to make sure this file is included in the compile-path.
It kind of seems like this is the case.
Personally, I'd advocate your solution, since I try to modify the root
files as little as possible unless I absolutely need to.
Great example, by the way, of how to customize the header variables!
I've been meaning to make a post about it on my blog.
Regards,
Abraham
