Re: Producing a title page

[Richard Shann]

Nicholas Sceaux created code for doing this, which has been adapted
inside Denemo. So you could use that directly, or use Denemo to create
your title page and just steal the LilyPond code from there. There is an
example of the sort of title page you can get here:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Pavana_%26_Galliarda_Dolorosa_%28Philips,_Peter%29

this also includes table of contents etc. The source code is on the
Denemo website.

HTH,

Richard
