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.
