yep - and I also don't understand the lines 36 - 39:

\huge \larger \bold
\fill-line {
  \larger \fromproperty #'header:title
}

why are the font determining commands both outside and inside of the
\fill-line?

this might be confusing for users (probably writing \huge \larger \larger
\bold might also be confusing)

IMO specially the files where users are pointed to should have a simple and
clearly understandable syntax!

shall I add an issue tomorrow?
