> Not top-posting There are two related things I want to mention here — one is an inconsistency between program behavior and documentation, and one is a feature request.
First, the inconsistency: The manual (http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/ creating-titles-headers-and-footers#titles-explained) says that evenHeaderMarkup and other header/footer variables... > can only access text fields from top-level \header blocks > (which apply to all scores in the book) In fact, this is not true. they can also access text fields from \header blocks at levels as low as bookpart, as the following MWE shows: \version "2.19" \paper { oddHeaderMarkup = \markup { \fromproperty #'header:title } evenHeaderMarkup = \markup { \fromproperty #'header:title } scoreTitleMarkup = \markup { } bookTitleMarkup = \markup { } } \book { \bookpart { \header { title = "foo bar baz" } \score { \new Staff { c d e f g a b c } } } } Second, the feature request: It would sometimes be useful to be able to access fields from score-level header blocks as well as from top-, book- and bookpart-level ones. (The use case I have in mind is printing "PIECE TITLE (cont'd)" at the top of the second and subsequent pages of a piece. There are probably others.) The restriction to bookpart-level and higher header blocks seems arbitrary, and I wonder if it could be removed.
