RE: Producing a title page

David,

Putting a "\pagebreak" after the first header and before the first score
seems to accomplish what you want.

Subject: Producing a title page

Having now got LilyPond 2.18.0 set up on my two machines, thanks to all the
help from the list, I have now started trying to adjust the output of the
pieces I have so far produced.

I have used \header blocks for title, composer etc., and these are working
as I would wish.

However, I should like to produce a separate title page which precedes the
music, but everything I have tried so far doesn't work.  Usually I either
get additional text added to the first page of music, or I get no title
above the music itself.

Of course, I could easily create a title page in LibreOffice or similar, but
as LilyPond seems to have sufficient markup capabilities to do anything I am
likely to want on a title page, it seems a shame not to keep the whole thing
in the one place.

What I would like to do is to have some items (e.g. title, composer)
appearing on page 1, and some of the same ones appearing above the music
which starts on page 2 (or perhaps page 3 in some cases).  I imagine it is
possible to set things up so that the data only appears once in the file -
e.g. "Title" appears once in the .ly file, but appears both on the title
page (page 1) and on the first page of music.

Here is an abbreviated example of one of my efforts:


\version "2.18.0"

\book {
    \paper {
        indent = 0\mm
        scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {
            \fill-line {
                \null
                \fontsize #3 \bold \fromproperty #'header:piece
                \null
            }
        }
        first-page-number = #2
    }

    \header {
        title       = "Partita"
        subtitle    = "for solo marimba"
    }

    \score {
        { c'1 c' }
        \header { piece = "I.  Allemande" }
        \layout { }
    }
    \pageBreak

    \score {
        { d'1 d' }
        \header { piece = "II.  Courante" }
        \layout { }
    }
}


How should I alter this to get a title page showing "Partita" and "for solo
marimba" on a title page preceding the music pages?

David
