Do this (which works great for me in the 2.12 versions).  You will
need to modify the code if you don't want the page numbers positioned
this way:

\paper {
        first-page-number = -2  % set to whatever
        #(define (print-positive-page-number layout props arg)
        (if (> (chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props -1) 1)
                (create-page-number-stencil layout props arg)
                empty-stencil))
                                
        oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
                ""
                \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:instrument
                \bold \fontsize #2 \on-the-fly #print-positive-page-number 
\fromproperty
                #'page:page-number-string
        }

        evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
                \bold \fontsize #2 \on-the-fly #print-positive-page-number 
\fromproperty
                #'page:page-number-string
                \on-the-fly #not-first-page \fromproperty #'header:instrument
                ""
        }
}
