Hello list,
Below is a very short lilypond snippet.
Why is the title printed for each score again if print-all-headers = ##t ?
This is not a question how to work around. I know I can deactivate the
print-all-header or write an extra header into score with title = "" or ##f.
The question is why is this considered desired behaviour and a feature?
Implying that I want the same title again over each \score part seems wrong. I
would expect a new title only when I set one in one of the \scores.
Imagine you have multiple pieces under the same title, then a new title again
with several pieces, but they still belong to the same project. You need to
explicitly override all headers in the majority of cases.
Or imagine a .ly file with only one \score but the print-all-headers is in that
really complex and brilliant template you normally use. You need to change you
template now or create a redundant version.
So in conclusion:
If there is a paper option I missed to prevent the repeated print for each new
\score I would be happy to use it.
But even if there is I wonder why this is the default behaviour.
Greetings,
Nils
\version "2.16" %2.16.0 to be exact
\paper {
print-all-headers = ##t
}
\header{
title = "Hello"
copyright = "Copy"
tagline = "Tag"
}
\score {<g'>4}
\score {<a'>2}
