Yes, but at that point, why not just write \header { title = “MY OTHER TITLE" } ?? ;) Here’s the concrete use-case: 1. I have musical theatre pieces with (naturally enough) title case titles, such as “My Lucky Day”. 2. When they’re included in the Piano/Conductor score (or other score from the regular performance materials), the title should remain in title case. 3. When they’re included in a songbook, I’m trying to show the title in the the expected format, which is all-caps (cf. modern Warner-Chappell imprints), e.g., “MY LUCKY DAY”. 4. I want to accomplish this entirely in the stylesheets, and not have to have two different ways of inputting the title in the code/content. It seems odd to me that it’s so convoluted a process — and apparently so different, depending on whether it’s a string or a property. =\ Thanks, Kieren. _______________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer www: <http://www.kierenmacmillan.info> email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
