The vertical-fill method does exactly what I asked in the very first post.
But soon after, thanks to this thread, I saw some limitations in a
pure-LilyPond approach, which I did not know: therefore I stated, *before*

Hello Paolo,
Yes, that makes sense. This was never meant as some full working
implementation but just as an example.
Still, what problems did you have with the vertical-fill method? This should
work quite well for cover pages and such.
Cheers,

Hello Paolo,
That is not exactly true. The first time you used the word template was quite
some way in when you assumed that you’d need to set the markups differently
for any possible configuration (which is where I answered you’d be
underestimating Lilypond as you do NOT need to do that. My

Hello Valentin,
This is really sad news, especially if it happens at a time of pandemic,

I’m so sorry, Valentin! That is a challenging time to go through, and I
wish you strength and comfort. I hope you have a good support system to
lean on at this time.
I’ve been reading through this thread, and what strikes me is that the
original intent of the question and the answers and
Hello Paolo,
I did not mean a random specification, but a very important core specification
at a random point. In the beginning I asked you twice why you want to avoid
footer markups. This was not because I assume you're wrong but because we need
to know what you intend to do to properly help

Stylesheets in Lilypond is something I've been actively trying to interest the

I really thank you for this post. It not only explains what I had in mind
regarding the technical side of the thread; it also highlights a bigger

Hello Valentin,
as said before I don't want this kind of customization: I think it reduces
readability of the code (unless it is wrapped, but
Hello Jean,
The problem with this is that we’d need to give up control over the header
footer. We could very well just replace the current defaults with more complex
ones and use some way or another to pass styling information into the markups.
Of course we might argue that piecing together
Hello Paolo,
Please note that default values are intended to be changed if required. If you
do not change the default footer in Libre Office Writer you’d be unable to do
anything but empty footers.
Then note that headers and footers in Lilypond DO have recurring rules, just
that those rules
Hi,
Okay, I'll let myself sucked in this (in my opinion

While I wouldn't call the proposed methods hacks, I

current way footers are made customizable. What if
