Re:title on a separate page (Susan Dittmar) (David Nalesnik)

[Frederick Dennis]

Dear All,
When I tried to add the titlepage code to
the LSR, I got a message from Firefox
that lsr.dsi.unimi.it had an out-of-date
certificate and could not be trusted(?)
I have altered the music so it is now
public domain, hopefully.

%start file
\version "2.12.2"

%The next bit is scheme code to define \vspace
#(define-markup-command (vspace layout props amount) (number?)
  "This produces a invisible object taking vertical space."
    (ly:make-stencil "" (cons -1 1) (cons 0 amount))
    (ly:make-stencil "" (cons -1 1) (cons amount amount)))

\paper {
 print-page-number=##f
 ragged-bottom=##t
 ragged-last-bottom=##t
 print-all-headers = ##t

}

    title = \markup \center-column 
    { \vspace #64 \fontsize #10 "The Conqueror Worm" }

 copyright = "Evanescence (http://www.evanescence.com/)"

I like this code because it is short and easy to understand.
It will definitely come in useful.
Fred.
