Tricky. You've given the header and nothing else: the /file/ structure
(ie includes) has nothing to do with the musical structure seen by LP.
We need to know which headers you want to see at the start of each
section (≡ score, presumably).

I would write a mickey mouse file containing nothing but structure,
like the attached, in order to work out what's right for you.

Cheers,
David.
