I would expect all current versions of LilyPond would run on Windows
8.1. However, Windows 8 is so far out of support, it would not have
been tested and therefore is not publicised.

Thanks again Xavier. You are very patient - I have just sat down at my
up-to-date computer and the difference between the versions'
functionality is enormous. If I'd realised, I would have bitten the
bullet and had fewer questions and taken up less of everyone's time.
My apologies. Out of interest, is there somewhere that tells me the
last version of Lilypond that would run on Windows 8.1. Perhaps there
is a sweet spot for me - my layout requirements are largely satisfied
by these very simple layouts.

to the clef or the Time signature?
Hello,
See Timothy's answer (left-edge and link to IR).
\override Score.RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols = #'(clef)
\override Score.RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols = #'(time-signature)

You could also change the break-align-anchor-alignment of KeySignature
(NR same reference).

I would use "piece", but actually you could even define your own
custom header field and custom layout for titles.

Kind regards,
