Re: Overriding header fonts in a template
Thank you. In the paper block actually makes it easier to add to multiple
files as I just need to add it to my letterpaper.ly.
Off to scour the documentation for all the overrides!

Abraham,
Thanks for the help.
Creating a new header block is working, it does seem to work better when
the variables are defined before they are used. The issue with this is that
I don't know what header elements will be used for the next engraving.
The bookTitleMarkup looks like it is more robust, easier to change
everything in one spot, but I'm not seeing any changes. Lilypond reports no
errors. Frescobaldi helped me with the font name, so I know that is spelled
correctly.
\version 2.18.0
\language english
\include ../publisherCSS.ly% bookTitleMarkup stanza
\include ../letterpaper.ly % sets letter paper margins
\include music.ly % sets header and music variables
\score { \new ChoirStaff ... } % throws everything together for
output
Is there something else I need to do to tell lilypond that I am re-definng
bookTitleMarkup?

I am trying to modify header fonts for the requirement of a publisher.
I would rather not use text markup commands in the header, as it's not

I would much rather put the style changes in an external file, so they
can
all be changed at the same time if requirements change. I'm using an
external file for paper size and margin, and staff size, so I would
prefer
to put overrides in the same place.
Is it possible to put header font-name and font-size overrides in an
external file and how? Maybe some sort of lilypond css?
I tried this but the re-defining of title and other header data didn't
work
for me.
\version 2.18.0
%\header { %% remove header block to turn title into a variable
title = Song Title
...
%}
... (\PartMusic and \PartWords definitions }
\header {
title = \markup { \override #'(font-name . 'Nimbus')
\title }
}
\score { \new ChoirStaff ... }
Jeff,
Here are two ways to do this:
%%
publisherCSS.ly
%
\version 2.18.0
\header {
title = \markup { \override #'(font-name . 'Nimbus') \myTitle }
}
%%
publisherScore.ly
%
\version 2.18.0
*myTitle = Song Title *
*\include publisherCSS.ly **--- must come AFTER myTitle
definition*
\PartMusic and \PartWords definitions
\score { \new ChoirStaff ... }
%%
Or, have you tried modifying bookTitleMarkup? Here's how I would do it
(this is just a slight modification to the default found in
titling-init.ly):
%%
publisherCSS.ly
%
\version 2.18.0
bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
\column {
\fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:dedication }
\override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
\column {
\fill-line {
\huge \larger \larger \bold
*\override #'(font-name . Nimbus)* *-- Added override here!*
\fromproperty #'header:title
}
\fill-line {
\large \bold
\fromproperty #'header:subtitle
}
\fill-line {
\smaller \bold
\fromproperty #'header:subsubtitle
}
\fill-line {
\fromproperty #'header:poet
{ \large \bold \fromproperty #'header:instrument }
\fromproperty #'header:composer
}
\fill-line {
\fromproperty #'header:meter
\fromproperty #'header:arranger
}
}
}
}
%%
See if either of those work for you.
HTH,
Abraham
