Re: Any way to reset page numbers?

[Larry Kent]

Thanks, David....that worked!  It left me with another problem to solve. . . I need that first page (now page 4 in our example) to act as an odd-numbered page, and I need the header not to print on the first page (page 4).

I have the following markup for the headers:

evenHeaderMarkup=\markup  \fill-line { \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string \htitle \hcomposer }

oddHeaderMarkup=\markup  \fill-line { \on-the-fly #not-first-page \hcomposer \on-the-fly #not-first-page \htitle \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
   

BTW, I inherited this file from someone who obviously had better LP skills than I, and I'm trying to add my own tweaks, etc.

Thanks again,

LK

Try:

\paper {
  first-page-number = 4
  print-page-number = ##t
  print-first-page-number = ##t
}

Cheers,
