Yes, I have noticed that *sometimes* LilyPond does not understand
"shortcuted" structures.
Just add explicit instanciation for Staff and it is OK.
\book {
\bookOutputName "Romanze"
\new Staff { a a a }
}
\book {
\bookOutputName "Menuetto"
\score{
\new Staff { a a a }
}
}

Actually
\book {
\bookOutputName "Romanze"
{ a a a }
}
\book {
\bookOutputName "Menuetto"
{ a a a }
}
}
will work.
The original example above used note names in a \book { } construct without the
correct brackets - this is wrong and is covered in the manuals.
There is no need to explicitly put in a \score or \new Staff for your example
to work. Keep it simple.
Unless I have misunderstood.
