The trouble with that is that you lose the instrument name in the upper left-hand corner on Page 1. There is no automated way to have the same name in one place on Page 1, and someplace else in a smaller typeface on pages 2 +. You end up typing it all out somewhere else in any case.

Since this header gets created brand-new when you extract parts, I see no reason why "Instrument name header" can't be one of the inserts in the Text menu. This would certainly save a lot of time when extracting a lot of parts.

That can be set directly using the File menu item "Extract parts...." Select the Options.... button in the first dx box.. You can set the font, size, location and pages of the header/footer (doesn't allow just left or right
pages, tho- simply page one or 1 through...., etc.)

If this has changed since v2003c then perhaps someone else will give you the
steps.

In orchestral parts, what's the best way to get the instrument name
to appear as a header or footer on every page (or every other page)?
