Well if you look in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation-big-page.html#custom-headers-footers-and-titles

It explains things, although not specifically how to do this, but
using the information here and information from ly:titling-init.ly
file which defines many of these rules for how book and score part
titles work.

I came up with a bit of a crude method that might be good enough for you.

I've attached your file with my modifications here:

but basically with a bit of trial and error I commented out the
print-all-headers in your \paper { } block, added the scoreTitleMarkup
= \markup { .. } block within your \paper. This variable is taken from
the ly:titling-init.ly directly and then I modified it.

I made sure that the \header {} *inside* the \score { ... } construct
contained the copyright and the header for each score (hence
scoreTitleMarkup) and left the \header *outside* the \score { }
constructs but inside the \book { ... } with the main header.

Now the 'hack' was to add the two \fill-line { \null } lines inside
the scoreTitleMarkup as I couldn't workout how to move the score title
away from the main title - just add more instances of this \fill-line
to add more 'line space'.

What I couldn't work out (apart from the \null as line spacing) was
how to put the copyright on the *bottom* of the page. I also added
some \huge \larger \bold etc markups to show you how you can fiddle
with the sizes if you want to.

It isn't as elegant as I am sure it could be, but it seems to work ok.

Oh I used 2.14.1 as that is what I have installed but I expect this
still to be ok for 2.12.

Hope this was useful (I certainly learnt a few things doing this).
