Re: Scripting the \paper blocks output

Hi Andrew,

If I follow you correctly, then this would work:

Put these vars in directly in your lilypond file:

composer = "Bob Smith"

catalog-number = “001”

In default.ily, create this function:

#(define-markup-command (substitute layout props) ()

   (interpret-markup layout props

     (markup (string-append composer "." catalog-number))

     ))

Then use it in default.ily as follows:

 \on-the-fly #not-part-first-page \line { Klang Büro \substitute }

I am sure you can think of a better function name than I can.

Obviously you can format the substitute string as per your desire.
