RE: opus conflict

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Thomas,

Thank you for the alternatives. Since I have very limited knowledge as to how 
to customize (write Lilypond), I shall opt for 1) or 2).
The result is more important than the method.

This happens because the complete bookTitleMarkup is printed first by the 
scoreTitleMarkup (if print-all-headers = ##t). The remaining parts of the 
score-header are printed below (i.e. piece and opus).

Sure. At least three possibilities

(1) quick'n dirty
arranger = "Op. 51"

(2) quick'n dirty
composer = \markup \right-column { "E. MacDowell" "Op. 51" }

(3) go for custom book/scoreTitleMarkup

I'd really recommend (3).
You are not happy with the default, so why not change it?
Timothy already posted a possibility.
If you like it, ok. If you want some changes and feel not confident enough to 
implement them yourself, ask back.



Cheers,
  Harm
