7.5.10 Multiple movements

A document may contain multiple pieces of music. Examples of these are an etude book, or an orchestral part with multiple movements. Each movement is entered with a \score block,

\score {
  ..music..
}

The movements are combined together in a \book block, like

\book {
  \score {
    ..
  }
  \score {
    ..
  }
}

The header for each piece of music can be put inside the \score block. The piece name from the header will be printed before each movement. The title for the entire book can be put inside the \book, but if it is not present, the \header which is at the top of the file is inserted.

\book {
  \header {
    title = "Eight miniatures"
    composer = "Igor Stravinsky"
  }
  \score {
    ...
    \header { piece = "Romanze" }
  }
  \score {
    ...
    \header { piece = "Menuetto" }
  }
}
