That sounds like an icky solution -- I'd prefer to leave all the
header definitions as simple as they are now.
Judging from def global_latex_definition in ly2dvi, TeX will
take the last style definition. So if we can translate
"if page number = 1 then thispagestyle{onlypage}" into TeX,
all will be well. (my intuition as a semi-non-programmer is
that having a different page style is a "better" solution than
messing with the definition of \thecopyright)
I found a command "\folio" which claims to give the page number (at
http://nwalsh.com/tex/texhelp/Plain.html ), but I don't know how
to check what its value is ( do I do "\if\folio=1" or "\ifx\folio\1"
or "\ifnum\folio=1" or... I've never used TeX before; I just used
LaTeX to format my phil papers).
Any hints on dealing with TeX? I'm sure that a one-liner would do it;
something like:
s = s + '\\if\\$SOMETHING=1\\thispagestyle{onlypage}\\fi\n'
will solve it; the only problem is figuring out what that one line
should be...
(alternately I could pad all my scores so that all parts used more than
one page. :)
