Re: composition title on every page?

[Mats Bengtsson]

I hope you have found the original definitions of these variables in
the ly/titling-init.ly file, as described in the manual. If you, for 
example,
want to typeset the title instead of the instrument name in the page header
and want it to appear also on the first page, you can add the following 
lines
in your file:

\paper{
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup
\fill-line {
 \fromproperty #'header:title
 " " % This will make sure that the header is never completely empty, to
       % avoid some layout problems. Also, moving it in between the 
title and
       % the page number, makes these be typeset left and right 
aligned, respectively.
 \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
}

evenHeaderMarkup = \markup
\fill-line {
 \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
 " "
 \fromproperty #'header:title
}
}
