"Score" or similar as part name
I'm working with a large ensemble score and have set the header "[piece title] - $i, p. $p". In the parts, this shows up as, for example, "[piece title] - Bb Clarinet 1, p. 2", However, in the whole score, this becomes "[piece title] - , p. 2". Would it be possible to effectively give the score a part title of "Score" so as to give substance to the header, or is there perhaps a way to only have headers show up in parts?

After you create parts, you can edit the header in the main score. To make you happy you can change $i to Score or edit the header in another way that you like. This will not affect any parts that are already created, but it will be applied to any new parts you create after this.
As a side note, if you had an instrument change in a part, you could, for example, change the header of just that part, click "Apply" rather than "Apply to all parts" and only that part would be changed. This is true of most changes that are not adding/deleting notes or adding/deleting text in a part or score. There are some other exceptions, but you can try out other changes and undo them if you don't like the results.
use "$:partName:" in the parts, "$:workTitle:" in score and parts

It sounded to me like the OP wanted the word "Score" where "Oboe" appears in the part so he would need Score rather than $:partName: or $:workTitle:

so in Score
$:workTitle: - Score, p. $p
Ort add a partName tag to the score's metadata, content "Score" and then using the same string it its header/footer as in the parts

The new partName tag works exactly how I want it to; thank you!
