Hi Mark, perhaps you may want to try: \version "2.15.35" \header { title = "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" composer = "J. S. Bach" myInstrument = "Violin I" } \paper { oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:myInstrument \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string } evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:myInstrument " " } bookTitleMarkup = \markup { \column { \box { \pad-markup #1 \fromproperty #'header:myInstrument } \bookTitleMarkup } } } \relative c' { \repeat unfold 50 { c'1 \break } } Please note: I newly introduced myInstrument into the header to avoid a complete new-definition of bookTitleMarkup. But now you can't use the old `instrument'-variable any more. If you do so, a second `instrument'-markup will be printed.
