Thank you Jean, I was not aware either, that it is now (actually since many years now!) possible to use \header before music within \score.
This is great and makes more sense (corresponds to user expectation). It would be nice to update the documentation indeed.
And thank you David K for implementing this (in addition to all the other things you have done and are doing for LilyPond).
Cheers,
