Fit on one page?

Would someone be able to help me get this on one page?

I wasn't able to get this to work, even setting the Y-extent explicitly,
and working with 'line-break-system-details also:
    \override NonMusicalPaperColumn
      #'line-break-system-details = #'((next-space . 0))

In most cases, the stretcher seems to kick in, in between \scores and
score \headers, and it eiths mangles the score title spacing, or decides
to re-stretch the staves over two pages.

So, even though I would like fit this all on one page by vertically
compressing only \score 1, I can accept something that affects all three
scores, like \paper space-between-systems.  But if I use this, can you
show me how to isolate this first page in a \bookpart, so that I can use
the defaults for the rest of the book?

Thanks, - Dan
