I'm thinking along the exact same lines. A lot's changed in lilypond
since I last looked at this seriously (in the 2.4, 2.6 days). My problem
is that the default header is, I guess, for orchestral parts, while I do
parts for brass and concert band. The lilypond layout looks distinctly
odd :-)
It'd be nice to modify the header function so it could produce different
headers (or a title page) based on a flag.
Oddly enough, your message arrived just as I'd asked myself where is the
header definition so I can try and play with it ...
Cheers,
