Hey Mark,
Is there a way of adding a front page with graphics, title etc to a
> Lilypond book, with the numbering starting at 1 on the first other
> book page?
I'm not sure what exactly you want to accomplish here. Where do you want
the numbering to appear? Is your question also about how to create a title
page?
Maybe my approach to that problem can help you. What I normally do is to
create a "cover.ly" file with all the elements I need (title, composer,
graphics, etc.), and then, in a separate file, I organize the music inside
\bookpart blocks. This avoids that lilypond prints the default header, but
requires a bit caution. For instance:
---- cover.ly
\version "2.19.46"
\paper {
bookTitleMarkup = ""
scoreTitleMarkup = ""
}
\markup {
\vspace #20
\fill-line {
\fontsize #12 \title }
}
\markup {
\vspace #2
\fill-line {
\fontsize #5 \instrument }
}
\markup {
\vspace #5
\fill-line {
\fontsize #8 \composer }
}
\markup {
\vspace #3
\fill-line {
\fontsize #6 \poet }
}
\markup {
\vspace #5
\fill-line {
\fontsize #2 \italic \dedication }
}
\markup {
\vspace #4
\fill-line {
\fontsize #4 \date }
}
\pageBreak
---- mainfile.ly
\version "2.19.46"
%% Notice we have to add the header elements as variables
title = "My piece"
subtitle = "it has a cover page!"
composer = "Me"
date = "2018"
dedication = "To Mr. Someone"
instrument = "Piano"
poet = ""
\header {
%% and now we just call the variables we just created
title = \title
subtitle = \subtitle
composer = \composer
date = \date
dedication = \dedication
instrument = \instrument
arranger = ""
}
\bookpart {
%\include "cover.ly"
%{ \markup {}
\pageBreak
\paper {
print-page-number = ##f
oddHeaderMarkup = ##f
evenHeaderMarkup = ##f
bookTitleMarkup = ""
scoreTitleMarkup = ""
%}
}
\paper {
first-page-number = #0 %this avoids counting the cover as page 1
#(include-special-characters)
bottom-margin = 1.5\cm
}
\bookpart {
\paper {
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup {
\fill-line {
\on-the-fly \not-part-first-page
\fill-line { \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string \null }
\null
}
}
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup {
\fill-line {
\null \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
}
}
}
\score {
\new Staff {
\relative c'{ c }
}
}
}
