I don't always have a meter or composer, but I think I know how to deal with that. With some help from Valentin, I've come close, using his suggestion:
\paper{
scoreTitleMarkup = \markup { \column {
\fill-line {
\fromproperty #'header:meter
\fromproperty #'header:poet
}
}
}
}
However, this puts the tune title on the left, directly above the meter. I've looked at the 2.11 documentation under markup, titles, custom titles, and text, and I've done some fooling around, but I've had no success. Can anyone help?
I'm currently using
% Tune set, for the Shelburne Falls Mocha Maya session
\version "2.11.61"
\include "
english.ly"
\include "Tune1.ly"
\include "Tune2.ly"
\paper {
scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {
\fill-line {
{ \column {
\fromproperty #'header:piece
\fromproperty #'header:meter
}
{ \fromproperty #'header:composer
}
}
}
}
}
\book {
% Title of set.
\header {
subtitle = "Tune Set"
}
% 1st tune
\score {
{ \Tune1 }
\layout {
indent = #0
\context {
%prevent tunes from printing on two pages
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'page-break-permission = ##f
}
}
% Title, meter, and composer of this tune
\header {
piece = "Tune 1"
meter = "Meter"
composer = "Composer Tune 1"
}
}
% 2nd tune
\score {
{ \Tune2 }
\layout {
indent = #0
\context {
%prevent tunes from printing on two pages
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'page-break-permission = ##f
}
}
% Title, meter, and composer of this tune.
\header {
piece = "Tune 2"
composer = "Composer 2"
}
}
}
Thanks for your help,
Ralph
