Comment #7 on issue 4089 by [email protected]: NR: Add better
indication that the automatic lilypond 'footer' string is known as
a 'tagline'
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4089
Hmm. Fact is, Lily doesn't handle headers, footers, and the other top and
bottom of page stuff too well, and how it does handle it isn't documented
too well. We mention oddHeaderMarkup and its siblings but with no example
of how to use them and what they produce. We don't mention that, to set
the same footer on every page, you just need to set oddFooterMarkup but
that doesn't work with headers.
If you set headers, then the page numbers disappear. If you set footers,
then the tagline and copyright disappear.
My conclusions: 1) tagline is a perfectly good name for the line that
appears at the bottom of the last page. 2) we could do with documenting
the header/footer markup stuff and its limitations better. 3) We should
have an index entry "footer" 4) From a development perspective, rather than
a documentation one, I think it would be better if page numbers, copyright,
taglines, etc., were separate entities from the header/footer markup.
