RE: that migrating "opus"

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

David,

Thank you for your pointed reply.
Yes, I did take away something from your explanation.
I have used it on the previously referenced score.
My basic question, more operational than technical (I really don't get all of 
the \scoreTitlemarkup stuff!).

Why is it that "piece" and "opus" are the only ones beatified to migrate?
The process you provide seems a little kludgy to get "opus" behave as it would 
on a normal score with multiple movements.

Mark

Except that the example you just posted doesn't seem to indicate that you took 
anything away from the one already posted in 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-04/msg00784.html
which you could use as a pattern for your own scores.
