Re: Right block to contain setting of print-first-page-number

I've been using \bookpart myself with very satisfactory results.  I put
print-first-page-number = ##t in the \paper{} block for each \bookpart
block.  I don't, however, necessarily put one piece in a \bookpart
block.  What I often do is put a whole number of pages in a \bookpart
block.  For example, I may have two pieces which occupy three full
pages.  In that case I put the two pieces in a \bookpart block and then
in the \paper block for that \bookpart I'll specify 3 pages.

Here's a stripped example:

\bookpart {
  \score {
    \aPiece
  }
  \score {
    \anotherPiece
  }
  \paper {
    ragged-last-bottom = #f
    page-count = #3
    print-first-page-number = ##t
  }
}

Note: the above is excerpted from a working *.ly file minus some extra 
stuff specific to my file.  It exists inside a \book block.
