Re: Tutorial

I'm trying to put "fine" and "da capo al fine" in a piece. I found instructions for "D.S. al fine", but if I write: \mark "da capo al Fine " the phrase is engraved above the upper system, not in between both systems, and disrupts the graphic order of the music engraving. If I write: \onc

Right! If you specify one or more header blocks at the top level of the file, the last one will be used globally for all the scores in the file. If you want specific titles for each score, include the header block within the corresponding \score{...} block: \score{ ... \header{ ... } } \sco
