Thanks for your help.

I can't pretend to have a very firm grasp of scoping in lilypond, but I have now (re-)tried by putting this \layout block in various places, including before the \include for each piece.  I've also tried inserting it in Nicolas Sceaux's example at the bottom of the book-titling.ily code (snippet 368).  All without success, alas.
