Hi,

is it possible to add some multiline header text, that is printed on top of
the first page.
I want to have arragement notes there, in text form, perhaps on the top
right corner.



If I understood you correctly, this should do the work:

\header { arranger = "foo" }

See:
http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-ly2dvi.html

To get multiple lines, it should work to do something like
\header{arranger = "line 1 \\\\ line 2 \\\\ line 3"}
Basically, this is the ordinary TeX syntax, where a '\\' means new paragraph, however in these strings, each backslash has to be escaped
by another backslash, since backslashes are used to escape also other
special characters. For example if you want to use a double quote within
a string, do "string with \"quotes\" in it".
