  within the \header block, however, it doesn't work.

I mean the \page block, of course.

Thanks, this was the first I tried.  However, the function
`not-first-page' asks for a `props' argument, and I wasn't able to
extract this properly or to write similar code which accesses the
current page number.

Ideally, the functions `not-first-page' and friends should work
unconditionally in the \page block, not only in variables which are
markup strings (scoreTitleMarkup, bookTitleMarkup, etc.)
