Re: [Denemo-devel] Problem with Score Title and question about automatic movement numeration

[Haris Brković]

Sorry, I sent wrong information. InstrumentName is from 
Staff/Voices-StaffProperties-Instrument Name in the object menu.
InstrumentName script is really long and I dont know how to incorporate given 
instruction.
I think I occupied enough of your time. Also I think this function is not 
essential for other Denemo users. But for my class work it would be easier when 
I change little movements order that I could numerate them more easily. For 
example in this last file I sent there were 15 of them.
Anyway thanks very much,
Haris

That is what I would do. I think the script notices that the title is empty and 
drops it, but in any case it would be good even if it generated 

title = ""
as this would not take up any space when LilyPond typeset it (I think).
(The script actually generates some rather complicated syntax \with-url, but 
that is not relevant).

???
Do you mean you opened the Score Properties Editor and chose the "Delete" 
button for the Titles directive?

Can you reproduce this crash?

you will also want some looping to do every movement

(while (d-PreviousMovement))

will take you to the first movement and

(while (d-NextMovement)
        (d-DirectivePut-header-postfix "NumberedTitle" 
                (string-append "\nsubtitle = \"Piece Number " (number->string 
(d-GetMovement)) "\"\n")))

will put the subtitle field on each movement header. (you would need another 
call to put it on the first movement).
