Scoping of variables - converting scores to songbook

2010-01-02 Thread Colin Campbell
I'm working on converting a collection of single scores into a song-book, by \including the .ly files, and seem to have run across a problem with scoping of variables: in some of my scores, I use no variables, neither for notes nor lyrics. Other scores, using variables defined outside a \score

Hi Ralph This is working as designed. It's explained towards the bottom of section 3.2.1 in the Notation Reference. By default only the piece and opus are printed when \header is included in the \score block. Setting print-all-headers true in a paper block is what you're looking for. Trevor -
