Hi Marco,

If you add the code below to your score, does that do what you want?

\paper {
  %print-first-page-number = ##t
  oddHeaderMarkup = ##f
  evenHeaderMarkup = ##f
  oddFooterMarkup = \markup {
      \on-the-fly \print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
      \on-the-fly \print-page-number-check-first "- My Song"
  }
  evenFooterMarkup = \oddFooterMarkup
}

(Uncomment the print-first-page-number line if you want the number on the first
page as well)
