The documentation here
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Introduction-to-the-LilyPond-file-structure#Introduction-to-the-LilyPond-file-structure
says: "A \score block must always contain just one music expression, and
this must appear immediately after the \score command."
and: "these three commands – \header, \layout and \midi – are special:
unlike many other commands which begin with a backward slash (\) they
are
not music expressions"
Which implies that the \header must be placed after the music
expression.
However, I found that with version 2.12, the lilypond accepts that the
header is placed before as well.
\version "2.12.3"
\score {
\header { piece = "lilypond compiles a score where header is placed
before the music expression"}
{ c'4 a b c' }
\layout { }
}
If lilypond compiles the file, I'd assume the documentation needs to be
updated???
Would you mind clarifying?
