How to put current date in footer?

[Alain]

Hi NG

I'm trying to have a timestamp in the footer of every page. nice would
also be to have subversion revision as metainformation printed.
I'm quite new to Lilypnd...

How can I do that?

I've tried it the LaTeX way:
\paper{
  ...
  oddFooterMarkup = "Compiled: \today"
}

but like this it doesn't work.

Thanks
Alain

How to have everything noted in C major even if transposed for another instrument

[Alain]

Hi NG

In modal jazz it can make sense to write everything in C major key
because it is not always obvious what key a piece is in.
All the flats and sharps will then be noted at every appearance.

My problem is the following. I define a melody in concert key:

melody = {
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  c4 cis4 .
}

then I use this melody for a concert sheet and a Bb sheet.
For Bb of course I use

\book{
  \score{
\transpose bes c' <<
  \context ChordNames \chords { \override ChordName #'font-size = #6
  \harmonies
  }
  \context Voice = "mel" {
\melody
  } 
>>
  }
}

And here's the problem. The Bb sheet is now notated in D major. But I'd
like to have it in C major as well!

thanks for any help

Alain

Thanks for this very quick answer.

I seem to have a problem here, maybe because I'm running lilypond 2.10.10?

/home/brenzi/svn_local/lilypond-songs/test.ly:8:21: Fehler: GUILE
signalisierte einen Fehler für den hier beginnenden Ausdruck
  oddFooterMarkup = #
 (ly:format "Compiled ~a by ~a (~a)"
Unbound variable: ly:format

sorry for the german error msg ;-)

does this only work with lily 2.11?

just found the solution thanks to Valentin's post.

revision = #"$Revision$"
today = #(strftime "%Y-%m-%d" (localtime (current-time)))

pieceFooter = #( ly:export ( string-append "Compiled " today " SVN:"
revision))

great.

thanks for your help!

Ok, it works just by not defining the key at all. simple ;-)

thanks Jonathan
