\paper variables concerning headers and markups

print-all-headers

If set to true, this will print all headers for each \score in the output. Normally only the piece and opus header variables are printed. For use cases see Titles and headers. Default: #f.

reset-footnotes-on-new-page

If set to true, footnote numbers are reset on each page break. For footnotes numbered consecutively across page breaks, set to #f. Default: #t.

system-separator-markup

A markup object that is inserted between systems, often used for orchestral scores. Default: unset. The \slashSeparator markup, defined in ly/titling-init.ly, is provided as a sensible default, for example:

#(set-default-paper-size "a8")

\book {
  \paper {
    system-separator-markup = \slashSeparator
  }
  \header {
    tagline = ##f
  }
  \score {
    \relative { c''1 \break c1 \break c1 }
  }
}
