I don't have any good answers for you, but two observations:

First, I'd be interested in knowing why the following snippet doesn't
work.  (I expected it to restart numbering on Score Two):

%%% Begin
\version "2.24.4"

\bookpart {
  \markup "Score One"
  \score {
    \new Staff { \repeat unfold 256 { c'1 } }
  }
}

\bookpart {
  % This doesn't work
  \paper {
    first-page-number = #1
    print-first-page-number = ##t
  }
  \markup "Score Two"
  \score {
    \new Staff { \repeat unfold 256 { c'1 } }
  }
}

\bookpart {
  \markup "Score Three"
  \score {
    \new Staff { \repeat unfold 256 { c'1 } }
  }
}
%%% End

Second, I think the standard way to combine text and LilyPond scores is by
using lilypond-book (
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/usage/lilypond_002dbook).  The
text would be in LaTeX and the scores would be in the LaTeX extensions that
lilypond-book understands.  But this just pushes the question back to: how
do you restart numbering in LaTeX?  But I suspect that the answer is more
straightforward in LaTeX than in LilyPond.
