One of these 2 solutions would almost certainly work for me, if only I
could get the basics sorted out. But after a lot of experimentation, I
cannot get one header on page 1 and another on page 2. Clearly I am
doing something fundamentally wrong.
The following code gives me both headers on page 1, and neither on page
2, which of course is not what I want. What am I doing wrong?
\version "2.24.3"
\header {
title = "Hello"
piece = "Goodbye"
}
\paper{
odd-header-markup = \markup { \fromproperty #'header:title }
even-header-markup = \markup { \fromproperty #'header:piece }
}
\new Staff {
s1
\pageBreak
s1
}
