I've tried it at the top of the master file that I compile to create the
PDF containing all the pieces:
\version "2.19.32"
#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)
\layout {
ragged-last-bottom = ##t
}
The last page of each piece is still as if ragged-last-bottom were ##f.
The final piece might be affected but I can't tell because it fills the
last page with systems anyway.
Thanks for the clarification, but I'm thinking we're flogging a dead
horse in trying to get book-titling.ily to do this.
