Hans,
Thank you for your advice.
That format is not what is given in the manual.
\bookpart {
\header { … }
\score { … }
}.
An what is the advantage of being able to code separate files (for individual movements) if the variables for each must be copied into the book part?
If in the future I wanted to change anything in an individual movement I would need to compile all of the bookparts.
The only option, that I can see, is to not use variables and insert all pitches within \score.
Your guidance is appreciated.

Subject: Re: Variables and Bookpart
Yes variables must (and are) placed before the \score in each individual movement. That is why each complies perfectly when done individually.
The error appears when the code for the movement (that compiles) is copied and pasted into the \bookpart.
Your kind attention is appreciated.’

Based on your response I think you did not get the nuances of what Jean tried to tell you.
The copying/pasting of your working score INSIDE \bookpart means that you are copying your variable definition (which is already properly outside the \score) INSIDE the \bookpart, while it should be outside both the \bookpart and the \score
{copy rest of the score here}
When using copy/paste of your score into a file with a \bookpart
