Actually, I think Michael's right - by default lily assumes that certain
header items haven't changed, so don't need to be repeated. Multiple
scores are for multiple movements of the same work. I've not played with
it yet, so I can't remember for sure, but I know I wanted to put
multiple parts in the same file and it's not as easy as it sounds. The
second part iirc was missing the title, and the instrument!, which is
pretty serious seeing as the instrument was one of the things that
changed! :-)

Look at \bookpart, not \score.

And look at over-riding the various functions called to print headers,
putting your override versions in the \paper block. Sounds like you want
to override the default header function called from \score, and tell it
to call the header function associated with the entire document instead.
