### 2.15 Adding titles

Bibliographic information is entered in a separate block, the `\header` block. The name of the piece, its composer, etc., are entered as an assignment, within `\header { ... }`. The `\header` block is usually put at the top of the file. For example,

    \header {
      title = "Miniature"
      composer = "Igor Stravinsky"
    }

    { ... }

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