Movement numbers

Hello all,

What are people's thoughts on how to place movement numbers in a piece?

Each movement will of course have its own score{} context.  The obvious
choice is to use piece="I" in the associated header{}, but this prints
in the wrong place -- on the left-hand-side -- and is clearly intended
instead for the kind of movement names such as 'Cavatina', 'Overtura'
etc. as in a Beethoven string quartet score I have to hand, which appear
on the left-hand-side above the tempo instructions.

On the other hand, subtitle="I" doesn't work inside a header{} that is
inside the score{} context.

I can redefine the scoreTitleMarkup structure to get 'piece' to display
as I wish, but movement numbers displayed centre-aligned at the top of
the score are such a common feature that I can't help feeling that I
must be missing something.  Am I ... ?

Thanks & best wishes,

    -- Joe
