those are two different sections of a page.
\markup is \markup. Look at the first example on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Creating-titles
See all those \markups ? ... in fact, see the version number in
the output?
... for that matter, did you see the "Note that you may use any
Formatting text, commands in the header." ? Including a link to
the \markup explanation in NR 1.8 ?!
I still think this is a PEBKAC.
What's a PEBKAC? I've never seen that before. Anyway, I still find it
hard to relate the footer to titles and headers, it just doesn't make
sense to me to include it with those. In my way of thinking the footer
is a separate entity and should be treated as such. Irregardless, in
this entire thread I found only one example that did what I was looking
for and I posted that reference long ago. It's not in any of the
documentation, and that's the problem. I couldn't find the info on
putting the date in the footer in the docs but did find it in a referred
to sample code. Why can't such sample be in the docs? It would certainly
simplify things for us learning lilypond. And maybe we wouldn't ask so
many questions on a list that is meant for asking questions where we
just get arguments and references to stuff that really doesn't help
much. If it weren't for the fact that the other notation apps suck so
bad I be using one of 'em just to avoid this list. It's nothing but
negative attitudes here. Rather than helping people right from the
beginning it's 'look at NRsuch-n-such' or 'look at LMsuch-n-such'. Fine,
give us the reference, but also give us some real help and examples
because that is what's sorely missing from the docs. As far as I'm
concerned this is the end of this thread, reply if you want, but I am
finished with it.
