One thing I find odd, probably because I don't fully understand, is 
this: I have a .ly file that has 10 \score blocks. I place 
print-all-headers = ##t in the \paper block so I can define sub pages 
headers seperately from the top level \book headers. I first define: 
title, subtitle and instrument headers at the top level \book, then do a 
page break, that gives me a cover page. On the subsequent pages of music 
I define title and subsubtitle. I also define a blank subtitle = "" 
which blanks out the subtitle from the \book top level. And I define 
instrument = "" but it does not blank out the instrument from the top 
level \book headers. Seems odd that one will override the top level 
header and one will not. I am guessing there is probably an override 
that I can use to have the instrument header not appear on the 
subsequent pages?
thanks,

As a casual user of lilypond with modest needs from the program I would 
expect a section called Demonstrating all headers to do just that, 
demonstrate all headers. I do recall seeing such an example somewhere 
else in the docs. That could be followed by a section demonstrating and 
explaing how some headers don't appear on certain pages when typeset 
from the \score level.
