In 'Introduction to the LilyPond file structure':
by default, \header does not use the same fields depending on its

file structure with a \header outside the \score.

I disagree.  Shoving \header outside of a \book or \score is a
shorthand, and I'd rather keep the "basic" example as basic as
(reasonably) possibly.  Also, having a \header on its own will
result in it being applied to either the \book or \score -- if we
explicitly stick \header inside the \score, there's no ambiguity.
You miss the point! The problem is that if you do
\score{
\relative c'{ c d e f }
\header{
 title = "Here's the title, that's never printed."
}
}

then no title is printed, since the title is typeset at the \book level
and no header fields are specified at the \book level. Having a
header outside the score is not a shorthand, it's absolutely
necessary of you want e.g. the title printed.
