I've included a template for a book title page - it can be opened and
the text altered and then included as the first page in a Denemo Book.
You would then load the actual score and put the various layouts into
the book before finally generating the PDF.
I've attached the template here for those who don't want to wait until
tomorrow. There is a prize of 10 Gold Denemo Stars to the person who
crafts the best looking title page template to replace my quick and
whimiscal effort. The LilyPond documentation
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/text-markup-commands
 will explain how to draw boxes around text etc etc...
