The term 'footer' isn't understood. All of the 'footer' type things in
Lily at the moment are put in the 'header' block.

This will compile, but all you've done (internally) is define a variable
called 'otherHeaderItem'. All of the other header things--title,
composer and so on--are the same, but they're defined in a file called
titling-init.ly (somewhere in your installation.) Since this file
doesn't tell Lily what to do with otherHeaderItem, it just says "that's
nice!" and continues.
If you know any Scheme you might be able figure out how to define
otherHeaderItem the way you want it.

Yes! Check the docs for lilypond-book. It can also use other formats
like latex if you're familiar with those.
