Looks like best would be to redefine scoreTitleMarkup:

\paper {
  scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
    \column {
      \fill-line { \fromproperty #'header:dedication }
      \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.5)
      \column {
        \fill-line {
          \huge \larger \larger \bold
          \fromproperty #'header:title
        }
        \fill-line {
          \large \bold
          \fromproperty #'header:subtitle
        }
        \fill-line {
          \smaller \bold
          \fromproperty #'header:subsubtitle
        }
        \fill-line {
          \fromproperty #'header:poet
          { \large \bold \fromproperty #'header:instrument }
          \fromproperty #'header:composer
        }
        \fill-line {
          \fromproperty #'header:meter
          \fromproperty #'header:arranger
        }
       \fill-line {
         \fromproperty #'header:piece
         \fromproperty #'header:opus
       }
      }
    }
  }
}

\score {
   \relative c'' { c1 | c | c | c }
   \header {
     title = "localtitle"
     subtitle = "localsubtitle"
     composer = "localcomposer"
     arranger = "localarranger"
     instrument = "localinstrument"
     meter = "localmetre"
     opus = "localopus"
     piece = "localpiece"
     poet = "localpoet"
   }
}

\score {
   \relative c'' { c1 | c | c | c }
   \header {
     title = "localtitle-2"
     subtitle = "localsubtitle-2"
     composer = "localcomposer-2"
     arranger = "localarranger-2"
     instrument = "localinstrument-2"
     meter = "localmetre-2"
     opus = "localopus-2"
     piece = "localpiece-2"
     poet = "localpoet-2"
   }
}

Though there is something strange with the snippet you linked to.
Per default LilyPond does not support header-fields like:
metre
texidoc
enteredby
