The layout of the header is controlled by the `bookTitleMarkup` paper variable (it's defined in titling-init.ly, which is included from paper- defaults-init.ly). If you copy and change that a little, you can get it to look pretty good (with the instrument name in the top left corner, where it should be):
\paper { bookTitleMarkup = \markup { \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5) \column { \fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:dedication } \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5) \column { \fill-line { \raise #1 \fromproperty #'header:instrument \huge \larger \larger \bold \fromproperty #'header:title "" } \fill-line { \large \bold \fromproperty #'header:subtitle } \fill-line { \smaller \bold \fromproperty #'header:subsubtitle } \fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:poet \fromproperty #'header:composer } \fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:meter \fromproperty #'header:arranger } } } } } P.S. Anyone have any idea how to paste stuff into Thunderbird without line wrapping? On 04/21/17 13:16, Johannes Roeßler wrote: > Hi Michael, Hi caagr98 > > nice to see you too Michael...
