Displaying "page x of y" in header / footer
Dear all,
I can't find how to display the total number of pages in a score as part of
the page header / footer.
I tried adding a "theLastPage" label at the end of my score but it
sometimes is off by one. I sadly cannot create a small snippet that
reproduces the off-by one ("page 4 of 3") problem.
Placing a label outside the last score block yields an unresolved label and
page reference.
For what it's worth, here's the stencil I'm currently using:
\paper {
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \hspace #1 \concat { "page "
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string " of " \page-ref #'theLastPage "0"
"?" } \hspace #1 }
}
evenHeaderMarkup = \oddHeaderMarkup
}
Any help is welcome.
Best regards,
Olivier

Re: Displaying "page x of y" in header / footer
Dear all,
Replying to myself all I managed to do is the following "hack": add the
following sneppet after the last \score {} block:
\label #'theLastPage
\markup \rounded-box { \tiny "" }
Thios empty block displays nothing in the score and seems to solve the
problem, although in a rather "hackish" way.
Is there a "proper" way for reaching this?
Best regards,
Olivier

Re: Displaying "page x of y" in header / footer
Dear all,
Here's a trick that works better than the trick I posted earlier.
Add the following at the end of the music expression (e.g. after the last
note), or in a separate context having the same number of measures as the
music you want to engrave:
\label #'theLastPage
Best regards,
Olivier
