Re: How to print "page x of x" in the header

[Mark Cookson]

Thanks for the replies, Han-Wen and Laura.

I suspect it's a one-off requirement for me (I'm putting together some
pages of scales for students) so I'll give the lilypond-book method a
go first. I've done each scale as a separate score within a \book, so
not sure how easy it will be to get things into a shape lilypond-book
likes the look of...

If you use lilypond-book, this and a lot of things like it are quite
easy.  I think the most straightforward way is to put:

       \usepackage(lastpage)

in your document header, and then say:

   \pageref(LastPage)

wherever you want to use the number of the last page.
