Thanks, David....that worked!  It left me with another problem to solve. .
. I need that first page (now page 4 in our example) to act as an
odd-numbered page, and I need the header not to print on the first page
(page 4).

I have the following markup for the headers:

evenHeaderMarkup=\markup  \fill-line { \fromproperty
#'page:page-number-string \htitle \hcomposer }

oddHeaderMarkup=\markup  \fill-line { \on-the-fly #not-first-page
\hcomposer \on-the-fly #not-first-page \htitle \on-the-fly #not-first-page
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }


BTW, I inherited this file from someone who obviously had better LP skills
than I, and I'm trying to add my own tweaks, etc.

Thanks again,
LK
