RE: Headers Placement

Shane:

 

Thank you for your response and information. At least I know that some “fudging” is needed. I shall work with the “\global” and scope out the threads.

That once useful function no longer works properly or as most people might anticipate, after 2.12 or thereabouts. Something about multiple headers causes Lilypond to crap out. From what i understand a header is a top level widget and there can be only one unless you declare some odd ball incantation involving either book or book part. That can be accomplished but as soon as you introduce a \global in any of the music files you destroy that possible way out of the maze, this therefore precludes a most common way of defining scores.  After beating my head against this for a week trying to make the theoretical work, I put up a work around and simply replaced the necessary headers with equivalent markup sequences for the headers. Search for the multiple headers thread to see a viable solution.
  This area of lilypond is either woefully under documented or simply in a very inferior state to the rest of the programs capabilities.
Anyway best of luck.

Hello:

 

The attached file is for a Prelude and Fugue. The header for the Prelude does not appear and is replaced by the header for the Fugue. I have compared mine to the examples in the manual and cannot find my error.

 

Would someone please point it out to me?

 

Thank you for your kind attention.

 

Mark
