There is no global header in FASTQ files, only headers of individual reads. I think it is a safe assumption that adding to individual headers is a desired outcome.

the fastq file format does not have headers or file comments. This is usually disambiguated by naming the first-read file so it has the suffix suffix "_R1.fq.gz" or "_1.fq.gz" and similarly for the second-read file.
