When the bass is added (Hours with bass) the 12 measures are compressed into
two lines.

My hunch is that the beamed notes overlapping the bar lines in the lower staff are causing LilyPond to prefer two systems to three, as such a layout prevents any beamed notes from breaking across lines.

Add "\paper { system-count = #3 }" or an explicit \break here or there to force things into the layout you need.
