those are two different sections of a page.
\markup is \markup. Look at the first example on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Creating-titles
See all those \markups ? ... in fact, see the version number in
the output?
... for that matter, did you see the "Note that you may use any
Formatting text, commands in the header." ? Including a link to
the \markup explanation in NR 1.8 ?!
I still think this is a PEBKAC.
What's a PEBKAC? I've never seen that before. Anyway, I still find it
hard to relate the footer to titles and headers, it just doesn't make
sense to me to include it with those. In my way of thinking the footer
is a separate entity and should be treated as such. Irregardless, in
this entire thread I found only one example that did what I was looking
for and I posted that reference long ago. It's not in any of the
documentation, and that's the problem. I couldn't find the info on
putting the date in the footer in the docs but did find it in a
referred to sample code. Why can't such sample be in the docs? It would
certainly simplify things for us learning lilypond. And maybe we
wouldn't ask so many questions on a list that is meant for asking
questions where we just get arguments and references to stuff that
really doesn't help much. If it weren't for the fact that the other
notation apps suck so bad I be using one of 'em just to avoid this
list. It's nothing but negative attitudes here. Rather than helping
people right from the beginning it's 'look at NRsuch-n-such' or 'look
at LMsuch-n-such'. Fine, give us the reference, but also give us some
real help and examples because that is what's sorely missing from the
docs. As far as I'm concerned this is the end of this thread, reply if
you want, but I am finished with it.
