chaptersheader-footer
I need to display the chapter name with the \chapter* command to the left side of the header. This is one example of what I tried:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{book}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
\chead{}
\rhead{\fancyplain{}{\textit{\leftmark}}}
\begin{document}
\chapter*{\centerline{Chapter Name}}
\end{document}
How can I do this?
ORIGINAL ANSWER: While the refsection=chapter option will assure that "all cited works are assigned labels which are local to the environment" (biblatex manual, section 3.6.4), it does not modify the sectioning level of the bibliographies created with \printbibliography. Your "reference section" in the MWE is actually an unnumbered chapter (the default for the scrbook class), as should be obvious from the forced page break. For an unnumbered section, you must issue \printbibliography[heading=subbibliography] -- this will produce the correct layout, including headers.
UPDATE: (I'm assuming that the problematic header is actually at p. 6 in your MWE, while p. 4 is fine.) You seem to have stumbled upon a bug in the biblatex interface to scrbook. With this class, heading=subbibintoc uses the \addsec command which produces an unnumbered section with ToC entry and (with the help of \markright) headers. For whatever reason, biblatex adds a \markboth -- removing this command from the subbibintoc definition produces correct headers.
\documentclass[chapterprefix=on]{scrbook}
\usepackage[
backend=biber,
style=authoryear-comp,
refsection=chapter,
]{biblatex}
\defbibheading{subbibintoc}[\refname]{%
\addsec{#1}%
% \markboth{#1}{#1}}% DELETED
}% NEW
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
author = {Author, A.},
year = {2001},
title = {Alpha},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter
\chapter{Test}
\lipsum \lipsum \lipsum \autocite{A01}.
\printbibliography[heading=subbibintoc]
\begin{subappendices}
\section{An appendix}
\lipsum
\end{subappendices}
\end{document}
Since you have to define the \headheight at the begining of the code within geometry package irredeemably, this will stablish that same height for the header throughout the document.
To change that, you can define a \newgeometry with the \headheight equal to 0pt at the begining of even pages, but you have to redefine your previous geometry in the next page again. This is a manual procedure, but I don't know another way to do that.
Here I post you some code. As you can see, I have defined two styles with \fancypagestyle, one for even pages and another one for de odd ones. If you want to disable the numbering of the pages, just remove the \fancyfoot and \renewcommand\footrulewidth lines inside each style.
\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=2cm,includeheadfoot,headheight=44pt]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\fancypagestyle{odd}{ %
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[OL]{COURSE}
\fancyhead[OR]{
\begin{tabular}{ c c }
NAME & NO \\
NAME1 & xxx \\
NAME2 & yyy \\
\end{tabular}
}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
}
\fancypagestyle{even}{ %
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{odd}
\lipsum[1-2]
\newpage
\thispagestyle{even}
\newgeometry{margin=2cm,includefoot,headheight=0pt} %Just \includefoot
\lipsum[1-2]
\newpage
\thispagestyle{odd}
\newgeometry{margin=2cm,includeheadfoot,headheight=44pt}
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{document}
The first page is messed up because the
\headheightis by default12ptbut should be44ptin this case. Is there any way to calculate this automatically? I would like to avoid typing44ptmanually.
I don't know any way to avoid calculate this manually. Just compile your document and wait for the log message referring to the \headheight and set that lenght as minimum.

Try
And consider using
titlesecpackage rather using\centerlineas a visual formatting approach.
