See the information on titling at

However, you will need version 2.2.3 since earlier 2.2.x versions had a
bug. If you don't want to upgrade, I have described a workaround in
several emails found in the mailing list archives.

I tried your example with some small files in mvmt1.ly and mvmt3.ly and
it works fine here. You can hopefully get a hint on what's up if you
run lilypond-book with the additional flag --verbose and also take a
careful look at the printouts from LaTeX. I recommend to remove all
lily-*.ly files first to make sure that lilypond-book reruns all the
steps.
