Re: Extracting header fields for use by e.g. LaTeX?

[Michael Haynie]

If I didn't have so many files to manage, I might consider that.  
However, there are enough that the double maintenance would drive me to 
distraction.

The other problem with that solution is that it doesn't allow for the 
placement of a song number beside the title -- think of the typical 
layout of a hymnal.

So I really do need to figure out how to get lilypond to leave the 
titling to LaTeX, somehow.
