For an example of a tune book done with lilypond-book:

The source code is available on the site, but it's actually
partly generated by a computer program, which you'd have
to download and run.

This is not normal. You should try compiling the examples in the
lilypond manual, which were done with lilypond-book. That will tell
you whether it's a problem with your installation of lilypond, or
a problem with your input files. You should be able to reproduce the
results in the manual, which are not crowded.

You can just do the headers using plain old LaTeX. Most of the tunes
in my book don't have any headers, but a few do (the ones that say
`famous tune (identified in the table of contents)'), so you can
see if that's anything like what you want to do.

Between pieces, you can do a \pagebreak[4] using LaTeX. Dunno about forcing
page breaks within a piece, though; I've just been letting lilypond-book
put pagebreaks where it wants them. To discourage page breaks, you can
also surround some music with a \begin{samepage}...\end{samepage} LaTeX
environment. Although this may sound like the opposite of what you're
asking for (you want to force a pagebreak, not discourage one), you can
actually get the pagebreaks to happen where you *do* want them by forcing them
*not* to happen in places where you *don't* want them.
