David, Your continued effort to address my inquiry is uncommon. Many more esoteric and arcane matters appear on the list with multiple, and often contentious, responses. Yet you are the only one to respond to this simple inquiry and then it is not posted on the list.
Thank you for your kind attention. Your courtesy (your snippet is in my repository!) restricts any further comment. Suffice it to say that I have found a simple alternative: put the opus number in the "arranger" field.

Because a musical work "typically" has one title at the top (cf a novel) and one composer (cf author), whereas each movement (particularly where they're often performed separately) will be numbered (cf chapters) and sometimed titled (like children's stories). > The process you provide seems a little kludgy to get "opus" behave as it would on a normal score with multiple movements. I think the example (which BTW I didn't write) was designed to give you a lot of flexibility without using the \fromproperty method. If your music is very conventional as just described, then the default scheme may work for you, as attached (modified from that example cited). Cheers, David. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
