The copyright field is printed on the first page and
the tagline field is always printed on the last page.
When you only have a single page, the first and the
last pages coincide, so we have to make a choice.
The choice in the current implementation is to let the
tagline override the copyright field in these situations,
but I'm not convinced that's the best way to do it.
It might be slightly tricky to change in the implementation,
though, since ly2dvi leaves the job of splitting the music
into pages to TeX.

That shouldn't happen.
