Re: define \header

[address@hidden]

Two things:

One; This looks like I would need to create a separate header file for each 
chorale.  This might not be quite what I'd prefer.

Two; I couldn't make it work anyway.

When you say:

"You may put your \header in a separate file and \include it where you 
want it to appear."

Do you mean:

\score {
    \definedScoreStuff
    \header {
          \include "headerFile.ly"
     }
}

You may put your \header in a separate file and \include it where you 
want it to appear.
Does that help you?
