New issue 2369 by address@hidden: Strange interaction between page  
number settings and footnote

I was able to reproduce this with 2.15.31 on linux-x86_64 but I haven't  
posted the output as it is too large, a 300k 3-page pdf.

Text of original post follows:

In the following, for some reason the footnote appears three times on the  
first page, overlaying the lowest stave, and once each on the second and  
third pages. Also, on page two, the footnote is below the page number, and  
on page three it is above the tagline.

It's some interaction with the on-the-fly settings in the paper block, as  
if I comment out \on-the-fly #not-last-page, then the footnote on page  
three disappears, and if I also comment out \on-the-fly #last-page  
\fromproperty #'header:tagline, then the footnotes on pages two and three  
disappear and the footnote appears only twice on the first page.

\version "2.15.31"

\paper {
    #(define (not-last-page layout props arg)
        (if (and (chain-assoc-get 'page:is-bookpart-last-page props #f)
            (chain-assoc-get 'page:is-last-bookpart props #f))
            empty-stencil
            (interpret-markup layout props arg)))

    oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \null
    evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \null
    oddFooterMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \center-column {
            \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first
            \on-the-fly #not-first-page
            \on-the-fly #not-last-page
            \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
            \on-the-fly #last-page \fromproperty #'header:tagline
        }
    }
    evenFooterMarkup = \oddFooterMarkup
}

\relative c' {
\footnote #'(0.5 . 5) #'NoteHead \markup { Now is the time for all good men  
to come to the aid of the party }
    c4 c c c
    \repeat unfold 900 { c4 }
}
