I'm sorry for messing you up. You don't need to add the "#(define
(not-first-page" stuff. I didn't notice that the not-first-page
function is already present in titling-init.ly inside LP installation.

I wonder if you already had a look at the titling-init.ly. There are
some examples how the standard LP headers are constructed and the
usage of first-page, not-first-page and other functions are shown
there. That helped me a lot when I tried to understand the header
stuff.

The new example has page numbers, too. :-)
