Re: first-page-number parameter is not being recognized

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

Thanks Joe,

Also anyone using an on-the-fly expression that expects #first-page to be
true on the first page will also fail if they set first-page-number
themselves.  Because #first-page is determined by comparing the page counter
value to first-page-number.  If the user is asking for a different
first-page-number then the #first-page boolean winds up being unreliable.  I
thought I was going crazy when my copyrights did not print when I was
clearly checking this expression to set the footer:

      \on-the-fly #first-page {
         \fill-line {
            { \hspace #0 }
            { \teeny "copyright" }
            { \bold \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
         }
      }

And #first-page was evaluating to false on the first page, because I was
also setting first-page-number = #4.  A case of one bug creating another bug
I guess, so I had to remove my first-page-number = #4 setting, but still
need my song to begin with page 4.

I would hope that page first of a 1 page score would evaluate as follows:

#first-page = true AND #last-page = true

And that multi-page scores would evaluate as follows:

page first
#first-page = true AND #last-page = false
page n
#first-page = false AND #last-page = false
page last
#first-page = false AND #last-page = true


All regardless if the user selected a different starting offset page number.

In my case the #first-page boolean would have became true on page 4 I guess,
but there was not enough music to get that far.

thanks
Rick
