Re: Instrument name on second page

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello Stan,

David already wrote about 'instrument'.
I thought this might be interesting.
I often use a paper block like this:
%-----------------------------------------------------------
date = #(strftime "%d.%m.%Y" (localtime (current-time)))

\paper {
% ... more paper defs ...
        oddFooterMarkup = \markup {
                \fill-line {
                        \fontsize #-3 {
				\concat { #(ly:export (string-append "LilyPond-" 
(lilypond-version))) " / "
				\date } \fromproperty #'header:composer \bold \fromproperty 
#'header:title \fromproperty #'header:instrument
                        }
                        \bold \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
                }
        evenFooterMarkup = \markup {
                \fill-line {
                        \bold \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
                        \fontsize #-3 {
				\bold \fromproperty #'header:title \fromproperty #'header:instrument 
\fromproperty #'header:composer
				\concat { \date " / " #(ly:export (string-append "LilyPond-" 
(lilypond-version))) }
                        }
                }
        }
}
%-----------------------------------------------------------

This way I have the date of compiling, the title, the composer and the 
instrument in the footer next to the page number. If my pages get messed 
up, there is a chance to reorder them.

Greetings,
Jan-Peter.
