However, the manual for version 2.7 also tells how to include
all headers for every movement, by setting the printallheaders
variable.

With printallheaders=##t, you can use the ordinary title or
subtitle fields, otherwise you can redefine how the titles for
each subsequent score is printed, for example by

\paper {
 bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
  \fill-line {
    \fromproperty #'header:piece
   }
 }
}

which should center the "piece" field if I'm not mistaken.
