header-footermemoir
I am in hurry and I really need to know how to style the page in memoir class. All the examples in page style such as Rule,empty, headings and Plain doesn't give the combination I need. Plain styles is the closest as it give bottom centered page numbers but without headers. I need both headers and page numbers at bottom centered on every page.
Can anybody please give me solution?
With the exception of, e.g., part title pages and chapter starting pages, memoir by default uses the headings pagestyle. The style definition can be found in section 7.3 of the manual; use \makeevenhead & friends to change it. The command syntax is \make<even/odd><head/foot>{<style>}{<left>}{<center>}{<right}.
EDIT: I also included a new plainnotice style (derived from plain) that is used for chapter starting pages. Part title pages will still use the plain style.
EDIT 2: For "special" chapters like the bibliography one may define a special pagestyle like headingsnobook (e.g., resembling the original headings style) and switch to it via \pagestyle{headingsnobook}. (The starting pages of "special" chapters will still use plainnotice.)
\documentclass{memoir}
\makeevenhead{headings}%
{\thepage}{}{\slshape\bookname~\thebook\qquad\partname~\thepart\qquad\leftmark}
\makeoddhead{headings}{\slshape\rightmark}{}{\thepage}
\makeevenfoot{headings}{}{}{(Copyright notice)}
\makeoddfoot{headings}{(Copyright notice)}{}{}
\copypagestyle{plainnotice}{plain}
\makeevenfoot{plainnotice}{\thepage}{}{(Copyright notice)}% not used with "openright"
\makeoddfoot{plainnotice}{(Copyright notice)}{}{\thepage}
\aliaspagestyle{chapter}{plainnotice}
\copypagestyle{headingsnobook}{headings}
\makeevenhead{headingsnobook}{\thepage}{}{\slshape\leftmark}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\book{The first book}
\part{First}
\chapter{First-first}
\section{First-first-first}
\lipsum[1-10]
\part*{Backmatter}
\pagestyle{headingsnobook}
\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\bibitem{test}\lipsum[1-10]
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
The problem is that with your current settings, a portion of the text area lies outside the physical page; this can be seen with the help of the showframe package (it draws some visual guides); loading this package with your settings, one gets
and you can see that the text area is wrong. You need to adjust your settings; one possibility is to use the predefined stock and page sizes offered by the class (pages); for example, with mediumvopaper and \pagemediumvo
\documentclass[9pt,extrafontsizes,oneside,mediumvopaper]{memoir}
\settrimmedsize{\stockheight}{\stockwidth}{*}
\setlrmargins{0.75in}{*}{*}
\pagemediumvo
\chapterstyle{bringhurst}

\usepackage{showframe}

\newcommand*{\titleGM}{%

\drop = 0.1\textheight
\vspace*{\baselineskip}

\hbox{%

\rule{1pt}{\dimexpr\textheight-28pt\relax}%

\parbox[b]{0.75\textwidth}{%

The mediumvo options will give you 9in x 5.75in; if you want to have 9in x 6in, you could use the following settings:
\documentclass[9pt,extrafontsizes,oneside,mediumvopaper]{memoir}
\stockheight=9in
\stockwidth=6in
\paperheight=9in
\paperwidth=6in
\settrimmedsize{\stockheight}{\stockwidth}{*}
\setlrmargins{0.75in}{*}{*}

Here is a very plain template to set all the headers and footer in
memoir. It's taken almost verbatim from thememoirdocumentation (section 7.3 MAKING HEADERS AND FOOTERS):If you don't want to be as extravagant and set everything, you can
\copypagestylefrom an existing one (likeRuled,ruled,plain, ... any of the ones mentioned in section 7.2 PAGE STYLES).Note that first pages of chapters in
memoirare set in thechapterpage style.chapteris not a true page style, but rather an alias forplain. If you wish to change that, first\copypagestyle{chapter}{plain}, makingchaptera true page style, then use the above techniques. For example, to get the page number in the center of the first chapter page, use
