Hello,

The best way is to look at the definition of oddHeaderMarkup and
evenHeaderMarkup in ‘ly/titling-init.ly’ and to modify it accordingly.
If you comment (or remove) the lines containing \fromproperty
#'header:instrument, you get what you want (see below).

\paper {
  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup
  \fill-line {
    ""
    % \unless \on-first-page-of-part \fromproperty #'header:instrument
    \if \should-print-page-number \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
  }
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup
  \fill-line {
    \if \should-print-page-number \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
    % \unless \on-first-page-of-part \fromproperty #'header:instrument
    ""
  }
}

Cheers,
Xavier
