But in real life, in scores with multiple movements, the headers are numbered 
sequentially. Ideally, LilyPond should be able to do that automatically... As 
that example shows, one has to hardcode the movement number (which becomes a 
mess if in a huge oratorio you decide to split one piece into two...).
