Hi Mark,
perhaps you may want to try:
\version "2.15.35"
\header {
title = "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"
composer = "J. S. Bach"
myInstrument = "Violin I"
}
\paper {
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup
\fill-line {
" "
\on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:myInstrument
\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
\on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:myInstrument
" "
}
bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
\column {
\box { \pad-markup #1 \fromproperty #'header:myInstrument }
\bookTitleMarkup
}
}
}
\relative c' { \repeat unfold 50 { c'1 \break } }
Please note:
I newly introduced myInstrument into the header to avoid a complete
new-definition of bookTitleMarkup.
But now you can't use the old `instrument'-variable any more. If you
do so, a second `instrument'-markup will be printed.
HTH,
Harm
