Cool, thanks, that works. Actually it works too well. So I need to place 
the instrument name in the header somewhere. It looks like using the 
header item Piece will work fine so I tried this -

\book { \score { \header {piece="Trumpet 1"} << \new Staff = "trumpet" 
\with { \remove Instrument_name_engraver } \trumpet >> } }

but get an error about an unexpected \header. The \header goes inside 
the \score{} right? So why doesn't this work?
