2.5.3 Adding titles

The title, composer, opus number, and similar information are entered in the \header block. This exists outside of the main music expression; the \header block is usually placed underneath the version number.

\version "2.11.58"
\header {
  title = "Symphony"
  composer = "Me"
  opus = "Op. 9"
}

{
  ... music ...
}

When the file is processed, the title and composer are printed above the music. More information on titling can be found in Creating titles.

This page is for LilyPond-2.11.58 (development-branch).
