Hi Chris,

Do you mean that you modifed titling-init.ly ?

If yes, I don't think it is a good idea...

How about :

\version "2.18.2"

\paper {
  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup\on-the-fly #not-part-first-page
    \fill-line {
      \null
      \fromproperty #'header:title
      \on-the-fly \print-page-number-check-first
        \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
    }
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup\on-the-fly #not-part-first-page
  \fill-line {
    \on-the-fly \print-page-number-check-first
        \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
    \fromproperty #'header:title
    \null
  }
}

\header {
  title = "My Title"
}

{
  \repeat unfold 50 { s1*4 \break }
  \bar "|."
}

HTH,

Pierre

I figured it out. I went into the ly/titling-init.ly file and changed this
line

\on-the-fly #not-part-first-page \fromproperty #'header:instrument

to this line

\on-the-fly #not-part-first-page \fromproperty #'header:title

in both the oddHeaderMarkup variable and the evenHeaderMarkup variable.

Pierre,

Yes, that is what I modified. I know that I will need to modify it again when there is an upgrade to a new version.l I am a computer programmer by trade.

I will always want the title printed starting on page 2 so I didn't want to have to put the code that you specified in each score that I do.

I do not need the instrument name printed. I could have also assigned the title to the instrument variable but preferred to have the title automatically printed in the header.

Thanks,

Chris
