Two workarounds:

o Insert
opus = ""
in the headers blocks of all score blocks except the first. This 
doesn't quite work, as the remaining opus prints as part of the first 
score, on the same line as the first piece. But you could choose 
instead to abandon opus and use
title = "Two minuets, Op. 1".

o Omit opus from the global header and modify the score block headers 
to include:
piece = "Op. 1 No. 1: Minuet in D major"
and
piece = "Op. 1 No. 2: Minuet in G major"
