A better way to approach this is to write a separate file for each of
the parts, and then use \include to assemble the conductor's score. In
fact, I even do my individual parts this way by saving just the notes in
separate files and then using \include to recall those files in the
parts. For example, I'll make two files, named gtrOneNotes.ly and
gtrTwoNotes.ly. These contain *only* the notes for Gtrs. one and two
respectively, defined as variables like this:
gtrOneNotes = { ...all of the notes for the Guitar I part... }
Then I structure my parts and score like this:
%%% begin Guitar I part
\version "2.11.62"
\include "gtrOneNotes.ly"
\score {
\new Staff = "guitar I" {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Guitar I"
\clef "treble_8"
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\gtrOneNotes
}
}
%%% end Guitar I part
and for the score:
%%% begin score of Guitar Duet
\version "2.11.62
\include "gtrOneNotes.ly"
\include "gtrTwoNotes.ly"
\score {
<<
\context StaffGroup <<
\new Staff = "Guitar I" {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Guitar I"
\clef "treble_8"
\time 4/4
\gtrOneNotes
}
\new Staff = "Guitar II" {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Guitar II"
\clef "treble_8"
\time 4/4
\gtrTwoNotes
}
>>
>>
}
%%% end score of Guitar Duet
This allows me to separate different tasks into different files. This
also allows for different formating and staff sizes for the parts and
score, which is almost always desirable.
Just make sure that any files that refer to each other are located in
the same directory.
Hope this helps,

I have written a conductors score that contains parts for 6
instruments, now how do I print the individual instruments sheet
music? I can't find this info in the manuals.
