No. While there is a \footnote music function for use in music, there are also \footnote and \auto-footnote markup commands for use in top-level markup. Those don't work in music-related markup (such as text scripts and rehearsal marks), and they apparently don't work in headers either. Making them work in either would be a reasonable extension of functionality. Both are different endeavors, but titles are suitable close to toplevel markup to make them seem a bit lower-hanging fruit. There _is_ already Issue 2819: \auto-footnote does not work in lyrics <URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2819> Issue 1757: Footnotes cannot attach to \header { }, (some?) TrypeScripts and MMRs <URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1757> and particularly the latter would already seem to cover the complaint. > If so, the behavior you describe, Barikavily, is the intended > behavior. Not so much "intended" as "current and well-known limitation". -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
