Hullo all. I am doing some more of my traditional Orthodox Chant music, and
I have two systems of music representing 2 diff Prokeimena (psalm verses
chanted before the Epistle Reading). Above the second system, I need an
additional header (in the style of the first header, same font, size, etc.)
in order to let people know what the second hymn is. How do I accomplish
this in Lilypond? The second header is: *Prokeimenon for an Hierarch.*

Additionally, I need to add the psalm verses below each system: for the 1st
system it is: *Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; praise becometh the
upright. *Then for the 2nd system it is: *Hear these things, all ye nations;
give heed, all ye that dwell in the world.*

I need a bit of help in these regards, plz. Thanks. A file of what I have
tried to do is attached already. Thanks again. Also, now it seems that both
of the Prokeimena have become ``fused'' together, & I need them on separate
systems, i.e. where the first double bar is, that needs to be the end of the
1st system, and then should start another system, preferably w/ enough space
in between for the psalm verses I mentioned above, & the next header. Thanks
again.
