I am receiving the following error:
Usage of package `fancyhdr' together(scrbook) with a KOMA-Script class is not recommended.


Do I need to change the document class to memoir perhaps (which would need a lot of work on the formatting?

Many thanks,
Mike

[Johannes_B]

With a KOMA class the package scrlayer-scrpage is recommended. It's in the same bundle and so works well together with scrbook.

Also, please use the code-button for proper markup.


EDIT: As i see it, novel.sty loads fancyhdr per default. You could prevent it from doing so, or use something different. Let me take a closer look on this tomorrow.

[esdd]

If you can't edit this strange novel.sty file directly then add the following lines in your document preamble before loading novel.sty.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\usepackage[automark,headsepline,footsepline=.25pt]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\PreventPackageFromLoading{fancyhdr}
\DeclarePageStyleAlias{fancy}{scrheadings}

If you can delete the following two lines from `novel.sty`

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
...
\pagestyle{fancy}

you can use

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\usepackage[automark,headsepline,footsepline=.25pt]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}

In both cases the header and footer can be set by

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\addtokomafont{pageheadfoot}{\slshape}
\addtokomafont{pagehead}{\tiny}
\addtokomafont{pagefoot}{\small}
\ohead{\MakeUppercase{\leftmark}}
\ihead{Ben Francis}
\ofoot{Tears in the Rain}
\cfoot{\pagemark}

I think you put novel.sty together yourself. My code is basically identical to Elkes code:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage}
\clearscrheadfoot
\addtokomafont{pagehead}{\tiny\slshape}
\addtokomafont{pagefoot}{\small\slshape}
\ohead{\leftmark}
\ihead{Ben Francis}
\ofoot{Tears in the Rain}
\cfoot{\pagemark}
\usepackage{blindtext}

Hi Johannes_B and Elke,

Thank you very much indeed for your fully informative replies. You've probably guessed, I am a newcomer to Latex and, I'm stumbling along, in the dark, hands outstretched and feeling my way . I'll amend the scripts tonight, then hopefully I've got a workable .tex file. The .sty file I put together myself and, I can see from your suggestions I've made a bit of a hash of it. But, I'm learning - painfully slow - but getting there step by step.

Again, thank you for your time and patience! It is much appreciated I assure you.

Mike

[mike1264]

Hi Johannes_B and Elke,
I am continuing to have a problem with the following code. I have followed your advice and now receive a series of warnings. However, the resulting .pdf file seems to be OK. Have I done something wrong in the code? I have added contents of the .sty file I was using to the main file.
Thanks for your help!
Mike

[Johannes_B]

Your example is not compilable, as we don't have neither the pic, nor the input-files.

The warning might come from the fancychap package. It does some funny stuff.

btw: Instead of doing it by hand, just use \addchap{Preface} and let the addcontentsline/markboth command go.

[mike1264]

Hi Johannes_B,
Thanks - warnings are still there. Here is an improved MWE which perhaps will make more sense.

In addition there is a warning that marignal notes overrun the paper. That is not a problem if you have no margin notes. Otherwise you have to change the pagelayout defined by the package geometry.

All of the \rm warnings come from the usage of the fancychap package. But I think you don't want to remove this package from your document.

Best regards
Elke
