Wish list - page titles carried to subsequent pages

I set up a lot of songs that have 2 or more pages. It would be nice if the printoff program could pick off the song title and print it onto subsequent pages, e.g. "songtitle" would be printed as right justified "songtitle - 2" on page 2 and "songtitle - 3" on page 3, etc. This automation would save me a lot of work labelling my scores.

It's been asked for before, so a header may eventually become part of the print function.

Meanwhile, the workaround is to use a text entry in Page Title font about the middle of the top staff on each page.  Set the vertical position high.  This workaround can get finicky, since you need to make sure you know where the last line on the previous page breaks, but it is do-able. You would have to do it for each part you're printing, and for each page 2, page 3, etc.

Another workaround is to pass the paper for the second and subsequent pages through the printer twice, the first time using a word processor to print your header, and the second time using NWC to print the second and subsequent pages.  This is less finicky, as long as your margins work out okay.

I USE PRINT PREVIEW TO GET THE MEASURE NUMBER ON PAGE 2-3 ETC. THEN ENTER THE PAGE NUMBER USING THE TEXT FEATURE

PARDON ME I MEANT TO SAY I ENTER THE SONG TITLE AT THE TOP OF THE 2ND / 3RD PAGE ABOVE THE MEASURE NUMBER FOUND BY USING PRINT PREVIEW
