Hello,

quick'n dirty:

\version "2.18.2"

\header {
  title = \markup \fontsize #1.5 "My Music"
  instrument = \markup \fill-line { \fontsize #1.5 "Flute" \null }
  %poet = "POET"
}

{ c }

It will fail if you want to use the 'poet'-field, though. To check
uncomment 'poet'.

In this case define a custom bookTitleMarkup.
I recently (yesterday?) wrote a tutorial about it, search the archives for it.

Cheers,
