Creating Headers & Footers on second and subsequent pages
I have a single instrument score which I am trying to duplicate the Score title and Instrument/Part Name on the second and subsequent pages. I have tried the Styles/Header/Footer feature but it just doesn't seem to do anything. I did read something about having to create a frame first.
Can somebody take me through from scratch how to create headers and footers on second and subsequent pages?
Thanks

The header and footer are set in Format / Style / Header, Footer. No frames involved. Just enter the information you want into the appropriate boxes, and make sure you check the appropriate options as to whether you want different headers or footers for odd/even pages etc.
If you continue to have trouble, please attach your score so we can understand and assist better.

Thanks for your response.
I have been playing a bit more and had partial success. I now understand that a frame is not required and that the info can be placed in the required box in Styles, Header/Footer editing.
I have attached a couple of pics where I have entered $I Part Name on all pages, $F File path + Name and $d Current Date. In the "Query 1" pic attached you can see where I have done this and each item appears in the score except the Part Name. In the "Query 2" pic you can see where there is a Part Name in the Stave Properties so I am not sure why it doesn't appear the Header.
Am I missing something???

What your screenshot doesn't show is whether you are in the score or in a Part; where "Part" is as per https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/parts

This was only a single part score, not a multi part score. I was able to get around the problem by simply typing the Part Name in the Header boxes.

My point is that "partName" is only available to MuseScore in a "Part". Not in the full score, even if that score consist only of a single instrument.
If you (for test/fun) were to create an actual "Part" from that score, you'd see the setting appear in there as you expect.

I understand what you are saying and will give that a try.
Thanks.
