I meant having the "piece" header appear in the score.

I' found a pseudo workaround:

\score {
  \repeat unfold 4 { c'1 \break }
  \header { piece = "Piece one" }
}

\score {
  \repeat unfold 9 { e'1 \break }
  \header {
    piece = \markup {
      \line { Piece two }
      \line { Piece three } }
    opus =  "Tacet."
 }
}

The only thing I don't know how to achieve is to eventually add
a page break between tow and three when needed.
