Re: Display score title differently on odd or even pages

Hi Jay,

The discussion at http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/reference-to-page-numbers is helpful in this regard.

From define-markup-commands.scm, I took the definition of \page-ref discussed in the link and adapted it so that it returns a markup justified to the left or right sides of the page, depending on whether the page number is even or odd.

Notice that I used "piece" for the title of each item.  I'm not sure why substituting "title" gives no output.

Hope this helps!
