Sorry - hit the send button too soon - this should read 3.2.3 Headers and Footers<current 3.2.2 second bit, plus any other \page properties that affect the appearance each page in the score>
<snip> Current definition of \header (in NR 3.1.3 File Structure)A \header block. This sets the global header block. This is the block containing the definitions for book-wide settings, like composer, title, etc.I propose renaming this to \front-matter, since most of the stuff mentioned in this quote from the NR describes things that appear at the start of a typical score, and the term header implies something this block doesn't actually do (header as in headers and footers). I suppose another possibility for the name might be \headings, if people want something similar to existing syntax.The current \header behaves differently depending on whether it's at top level or in a \score, when it only processes the title and opus properties. Maybe it would be a good idea to give it a separate name, (\score-headings, \section-headings ?) and add some validation to make sure it is used inside a \score block?
