I have not seen that yet.  Ok.  I see the manual I am now looking at is 
for 2.7.28 and what you say is there.  I now have no access to the 
2.7.27 manual to see if that's why I missed it.

I see that printallheaders = ##t does what it says and prints all the 
headers - even again for the first movement.  I only want some centered 
movement title like much common printed music not all the titles, etc.  
I'm not sure if your solution will do what I am describing.

I would think an ideal solution would be a "movement" header element 
which did what I am describing working like piece and opus and being 
centered.  Would you agree that movement name is more commonly centered 
that instrument name even though I have seen examples of instrument name 
in the center?

It may take me a little while to test that and I'm not sure how to use 
it yet.  Will that allow me to have different movement names since 
\paper applies to the whole ly file?
