Re: Lilypond 2.16.0 released!

Thanks, Graham!

 

I figured out what my problem was - the syntax in odd and even headers. I like my page numbers in the usual spot -- even left, odd right -- and the headers centered on all pages starting from page 2.

 

In 2.14, I was using this syntax:

 

  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
  " "
  \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:title
  \on-the-fly #not-first-page \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
  }
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
  \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
  \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:composer
  " "
}

 

But 2.16 will not accept this syntax, nor create a PDF. And the convert-ly -e *.ly function won't fix the problem, or even identify it.

 

But this works:

 

  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
    " "
  \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:title
  \on-the-fly #not-first-page \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
 
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
  \on-the-fly #not-first-page \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
  \on-the-fly #not-first-page { \center-align \fromproperty #'header:composer  } " " }

 

  
}
