I'm not sure why that should be. Anyway, if you put some LP code into a nonce file and then use: lilypond -dinclude-settings=nonce-filename LP-source-filename the nonce file will be interpreted first. So I assume any \header code will be interpreted at top-level. AFAICT the nonce file should either be in the working directory or in an --include directory. If you specify it as a full pathname, that pathname is checked for existence, but the directories appear to be stripped off by LP. (That might be the normal behaviour for \include files.)
