Re: Realigning the Meter header text to the center

What Knute means is this:

%%%%
\header {
  title = "<Title>" % Top Center
  subtitle = "87 87" % Below Title, smaller font
  subsubtitle = "SubSubTitle" % Below SubTitle, yet smaller font
}
%%%%

In this usage, you would not use "meter=" in the header

I've been using the default header settings with the text values set as shown in the snippet and the pdf output shown below.  However, I would like the meter (10.9.10.9.D) to be centered at the top of the page and next to the tune name (whose variable I will likely have to create manually).  I tried using the example in Documentation 3.3.2 > Custom layout for titles to change the alignment, but this doesn't seem to work the same way for "meter" as it does for "title" or "piece" ???

YES, the lyrics, tune, and harmony are all in the public domain.

Could somebody show a way to edit the alignment of the "meter" variable?  Note:  While the documentation came from the manual for the unstable release, I've been using V 2.18.2.  I've run out of space on my local disk, so I cannot upgrade LilyPond without doing a lot of memory management.  I would like to get this fixed as soon as possible to send to the printer.

Have you tried subsubtitle as the variable?
