Re: Piece/instrument names choice

You don’t HAVE to assign those that way… You can simply redefine 
bookTitleMarkup (or scoreTitleMarkup, as you wish) to reflect exactly what you 
want, e.g.,

%%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.36"

\paper {
  scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
  bookTitleMarkup = \markup \override #'(baseline-skip . 4) \fill-line {
    \center-column {
      \abs-fontsize #21 \fromproperty #'header:title
      \fill-line {
        \abs-fontsize #15 \fromproperty #'header:instrument
        \override #'(baseline-skip . 3) \center-column {
          \abs-fontsize #15 \fromproperty #'header:key-for-title
          \abs-fontsize #14 \fromproperty #'header:opus
        }
        \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.25) \center-column {
          \abs-fontsize #12 \fromproperty #'header:composer
          \abs-fontsize #10 \concat { ( \fromproperty #'header:catalogue-number 
) }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

\header {
  title = "CLARINET CONCERTO NO. 1"
  key-for-title = "C Minor"
  opus = "Op. 26"
  instrument = "Bassoon II"
  composer = "L. Spohr"
  catalogue-number = "00841"
}

\score {
  { c''1 }
}
%%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
