Bibliographic information is entered in a separate block, the
\header
block. The name of the piece, its composer, etc. are
entered as an assignment, within \header { ... }
. For
example,
\header { title = "Eight miniatures" composer = "Igor Stravinsky" tagline = "small is beautiful" } \score { ... }
When the file is processed the title and composer are printed above the music. The `tagline' is a short line printed at bottom of the last page which normally says “Engraved by LilyPond, version ...”. In the example above it is replaced by the line “small is beautiful.”1
Normally, the \header
is put at the top of the file. However,
for a document that contains multiple pieces (e.g. an etude book, or
an orchestral part with multiple movements), the header can be
put in the \score
block as follows; in this case, the name of
each piece will be printed before each movement
\header { title = "Eight miniatures" composer = "Igor Stravinsky" tagline = "small is beautiful" } \score { ... \header { piece = "Adagio" } } \score { ... \header { piece = "Menuetto" } }
More information on titling can be found in Invoking lilypond.
