Kevin, Yes that should work. Thanks for pointing out the "piece" just meant right-aligned. Corrected my thinking.

LilyPond has a header that can be added to any score with \header. Does something like this do what you want? \score { \relative { \tempo "Allegro" c'1 } \header { piece = "Rondo" } \layout { indent = 0 } } In the \header, "piece" has no significance other than having a default placement on the left. There is more information about the other information you can set in the header here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/creating-titles-headers -and-footers#default-layout-of-bookpart-and-score-titles
