GNU LilyPond Notation Reference: 3.2.2 Custom titles

### 3.2.2 Custom titles

A more advanced option is to change the definitions of the following variables in the `\paper` block. The init file ‘`../ly/titling-init.ly`’ lists the default layout.

`bookTitleMarkup`

  This is the title added at the top of the entire output document. Typically, it has the composer and the title of the piece

`scoreTitleMarkup`

  This is the title put over a `\score` block. Typically, it has the name of the movement (`piece` field).

`oddHeaderMarkup`

  This is the page header for odd-numbered pages.

`evenHeaderMarkup`

  This is the page header for even-numbered pages. If unspecified, the odd header is used instead.

  By default, headers are defined such that the page number is on the outside edge, and the instrument is centered.

`oddFooterMarkup`

  This is the page footer for odd-numbered pages.

`evenFooterMarkup`

  This is the page footer for even-numbered pages. If unspecified, the odd header is used instead.

  By default, the footer has the copyright notice on the first, and the tagline on the last page.

The following definition will put the title flush left, and the composer flush right on a single line.

    \paper {
      bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
       \fill-line {
         \fromproperty #'header:title
         \fromproperty #'header:composer
       }
      }
    }
