First of all, thanks to Simon for answering my previous question about how to get a split centered title in the running header. My adaptation of his solution is included below.
Next, I am trying to use bookpart to separate songs in a multi-song book. The title of the piece remains the same, and I am using subtitle to identify each song. The problem I now have is in subsequent book parts, the headers are printing twice: 1) Once is the running header, which works as intended. 2) Then the header for the song (bookpart) is printed, which includes title, subtitle, poet, composer and arranger. Really, all I want is to print from the normal header is the subtitle. Here is what I have tried: o Setting arranger to "" is fine that does not need to get printed again. o Setting title to "" is fine since the value used in the running header uses fixed variables (not the dynamic context variables like \fromproperty #'header:title) o But for poet and composer, I either get the double printing, or if I set poet and composer to "", they do not get printed in either the running header nor the bookpart header. So, my question boils down to: Is there a way to suppress printing of the poet and composer in a bookpart header (without setting the values to "")? Thanks. Here is my example: \version "2.19.11" \include "english.ly" emDash = \markup \char ##x2014 titleKern = " " pageNumberKern = " " titleLeft = "Indal" titleRight = "Haran" \header { poet = "Concert Pitch" copyright = \markup { \tiny "copyright © 2014 D. Elaine Alt" } title = \markup { \fontsize #4 \bold \line { \titleLeft " " \titleRight } } composer = "Traditional" arranger = "transcribed by D. Elaine Alt" } \paper { print-page-number = ##t print-first-page-number = ##f oddHeaderMarkup = \markup { \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:poet \line { \titleLeft \titleKern \emDash \pageNumberKern \lower #0.55 \fontsize #6 \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string \pageNumberKern \emDash \titleKern \titleRight } \fromproperty #'header:composer } } evenHeaderMarkup = \oddHeaderMarkup oddFooterMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:copyright } } evenFooterMarkup = \oddFooterMarkup } dohaChaubolaDaud = \relative c'' { \key bf \major \numericTimeSignature \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \time 4/4 \mark \markup { "part 1" } bf8 bf bf a16 g bf2 | a8 a f g16 a g8 f4. | r8 bf ~ bf bf16 c af8. g16 f4 | r4 f16 g f g ef8. d16 c4 | r8 ef ~ ef ef16 f d4 c | bf1 \bar "||" \break \mark \markup {" part 2" } bf'8 bf16 bf bf8 a16 c bf2 | bf16 bf bf8 a a g8. f16 g8 a | g8 f2.. | r8 bf ~ bf bf16 c af8. g16 f4 | r4 f16 g f g ef8. d16 c4 | r8 ef ~ ef ef16 f d4 c \bar "||" \break \mark \markup { "part 3" } ef8 ef16 ef ef8 ef16 g f2 | bf8. af16 af4 g8 g16 g g8 g16 a | g8 f2.. | r8 bf ~ bf bf16 c af8. g16 f4 | f8 bf ~ bf f16 g ef8. d16 c4 | r8 ef ~ ef ef16 f d4 c | bf1 \bar "||" \break } dohaChand = \relative c' { \key bf \minor \numericTimeSignature \once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \time 4/4 \grace c16 ( df8 ) df df [ c16 bf ] c4 af8 bf16 c | df c bf c af bf8. ~ bf4 r | ef4 c ef8 ef16 ef f4 | bf8 bf16 bf bf8 af16 g af8 g16 f ~ f4 | r4 r8 ef16 f gf?8 f16 ef df8 c16 bf | bf2 r2 \bar "||" } %%%%% \book { \bookpart { \header { subtitle = "Doha - Chaubola - Daud" } \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = #"" \clef treble \transpose c c { \dohaChaubolaDaud } \pageBreak } >> } } \bookpart { \header { title = "" subtitle = "Doha - Chand" arranger = "" % If these are set to "", then they are not printed in the running header. % If these are left with pre-existing values, then the names are printed twice, % once in the running header then once again above the score. % How can I get them to print in the running header, but not above the score? %composer = "" %poet = "" } \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = #"" \clef treble \transpose c c { \dohaChand } } >> } } } David Elaine Alt 415 . 341 .4954 "*Confusion is highly underrated*" ela...@flaminghakama.com self-immolation.info skype: flaming_hakama Producer ~ Composer ~ Instrumentalist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
