It certainly would, and NOW is the time to make such a feature request
to MakeMusic so it might actually get into Fin2007, although it might be
too late for that and would have to wait until Fin2008.
But do make your request to them.
And ask the plug-in writers to write a plug-in to do it.
I would think it would be possible for a plug-in (you'd have to run it
on each part, unfortunately) to read the text in the program-created
1st-page part name, and then put that into another text box so it could
display either centered on each page or alternate left/right for
even/odd pages.
Of course, what I don't think would be difficult might be impossible,
since I don't know much about programming plug-ins. :-)

The trouble with that is that you lose the instrument name in the upper
left-hand corner on Page 1. There is no automated way to have the same
name in one place on Page 1, and someplace else in a smaller typeface on
pages 2 +. You end up typing it all out somewhere else in any case.
Since this header gets created brand-new when you extract parts, I see
no reason why "Instrument name header" can't be one of the inserts in
the Text menu. This would certainly save a lot of time when extracting a
lot of parts.

That can be set directly using the File menu item "Extract parts...."
Select
the Options.... button in the first dx box.. You can set the font, size,
location and pages of the header/footer (doesn't allow just left or right
pages, tho- simply page one or 1 through...., etc.)
If this has changed since v2003c then perhaps someone else will give
you the
steps.

John asked...
In orchestral parts, what's the best way to get the instrument name
to appear as a header or footer on every page (or every other page)?
