@item firstpagenumber
The value of the page number of the first page. Default is@tie{}1.

If set to true, will print the page number in the first page. Default is
false.

The width of the page.

The height of the page.

Margin between header and top of the page.

@item bottommargin
Margin between footer and bottom of the page.

@item leftmargin
Margin between the left side of the page and the beginning of the music.

@item linewidth
The length of the systems.

@item headsep
Distance between the top-most music system and the page header.
+@cindex @code{footsep}
@item footsep
Distance between the bottom-most music system and the page footer.
+@cindex @code{pagetopspace}
+Distance from the top of the printable area to the center of the first
+staff. This only works for staves which are vertically small. Big staves
+are set with the top of their bounding box aligned to the top of the
+printable area.
+
+@cindex @code{raggedbottom}
@item raggedbottom
If set to true, systems will not be spread across the page.
This should be set false for pieces that have only two or three
systems per page, for example orchestral scores.
+@cindex @code{raggedlastbottom}
@item raggedlastbottom
If set to false, systems will be spread to fill the last page.
Pieces that amply fill two pages or more should have this set to
true.
+@cindex @code{betweensystemspace}
@item betweensystemspace
This dimensions determines the distance between systems. It is the
ideal distance between the center of the bottom staff of one system
Increasing this will provide a more even appearance of the page at the
cost of using more vertical space.
+@cindex @code{betweensystempadding}
@item betweensystempadding
This dimension is the minimum amount of white space that will always
be present between the bottom-most symbol of one system, and the
Increasing this will put systems whose bounding boxes almost touch
farther apart.
+
+@cindex @code{horizontalshift}
+@item horizontalshift
+All systems (including titles and system separators) are shifted by
+this amount to the right. Page markup, such as headers and footers are
+not affected by this. The purpose of this variable is to make space
+for instrument names at the left.
+
+@cindex @code{aftertitlespace}
@item aftertitlespace
Amount of space between the title and the first system.
+@cindex @code{aftertitlespace}
@item beforetitlespace
Amount of space between the last system of the previous piece and the
title of the next.
+@cindex @code{betweentitlespace}
@item betweentitlespace
Amount of space between consecutive titles (e.g., the title of the
book and the title of a piece).
+@cindex @code{printallheaders}
+@item printallheaders
+Setting this to #t will print all headers for each \score in a
+\book. Normally only the piece and opus \headers are printed.
+
+@cindex @code{systemSeparatorMarkup}
@item systemSeparatorMarkup
This contains a markup object, which will be inserted between
systems. This is often used for orchestral scores.

@end lilypond
+As demonstrated before, you can use multiple @code{\header} blocks.
+When same fields appear in different blocks, the latter is used.
+Here is a short example.
+
+@example
+\header @{
+ composer = "Composer"
+@}
+\header @{
+ title = "Title"
+@}
+\score @{
+ \new Staff @{ c'4 @}
+ \header @{
+ title = "New title" % overwrite previous one
+ @}
+@}
+@end example
+
+If you define the @code{\header} inside the @code{\score} block, then
+normally only the @code{piece} and @code{opus} headers will be printed.
+
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim,linewidth=11.0\cm]
+\score {
+ { c'4 }
+ \header {
+ title = "title" % not printed
+ piece = "piece"
+ opus = "opus"
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@cindex @code{printallheaders}
+@noindent
+You may change this behavior (and print all the headers when defining
+@code{\header} inside @code{\score}) by using
+
+@example
+\paper@{
+ printallheaders=##t
+@}
+@end example
+
+
+@commonprop
+
A more advanced option is to change the definitions of the following
variables in the @code{\paper} block. The init file
@file{ly/titling-init.ly} lists the default layout.
@table @code
+@cindex @code{bookTitleMarkup}
@item bookTitleMarkup
This is the title put over an entire @code{\book} block. Typically,
it has the composer and the title of the piece
+@cindex @code{scoreTitleMarkup}
@item scoreTitleMarkup
This is the title put over a @code{\score} block within a
@code{\book}. Typically, it has the name of the movement (@code{piece}
field).
+@cindex @code{oddHeaderMarkup}
@item oddHeaderMarkup
This is the page header for odd-numbered pages.
- @item evenHeaderMarkup
+@cindex @code{evenHeaderMarkup}
+@item 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.
+@cindex @code{oddFooterMarkup}
@item oddFooterMarkup
This is the page footer for odd-numbered pages.
+@cindex @code{evenFotterMarkup}
@item evenFooterMarkup
This is the page footer for even-numbered pages. If unspecified,
the odd header is used instead.
