I would like to place the Instrument Name on the first page only in the
position occupied by the oddHeaderMarkup. LilyPond's convention for the
Instrument Name is to place it below the Title. This may be standard for
professional-level music, but educational orchestra music normally places
the Instrument Name in the upper left corner in large letters. Subsequent
pages usually abbreviate the name, often placing it in much smaller type
along with the page number.
So, I'd like to either use the oddHeaderMarkup command and turn off the
oddHeaderMarkup for following pages, or use a different command (\markup, I
assume) to accomplish the same result. The manual no doubt shows how to do
this, but the clues are not pulled together in one place that I can get to
work. Perhaps yet another example of a newbie wrestling LilyPond's enormous
power and complexity.
\version "2.15.35"
\header {
title = "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"
composer = "J. S. Bach"
instrument = "Violin I" %Where LilyPond normally puts it.
}
\paper {
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup { \fontsize #4 "Violin I" } %The way I'd like it,
but only on page 1.
}
\relative c' { c }
Thanks!
Mark
