Because a musical work "typically" has one title at the top
(cf a novel) and one composer (cf author), whereas each movement
(particularly where they're often performed separately) will be
numbered (cf chapters) and sometimed titled (like children's
stories).

I think the example (which BTW I didn't write) was designed to give
you a lot of flexibility without using the \fromproperty method.
If your music is very conventional as just described, then the
default scheme may work for you, as attached (modified from that
example cited).

Cheers,
