Essentially, it sounds like you want 3 staves of vocal music and one
piano staff (two staves), but you want to hide the vocal staves when
they are resting and ditto for the piano, right? Create a score with
5 staves, keeping the vocal and piano parts separate (rather than
using the two piano staves for part of your choir), including rests
(or skips) as appropriate. Your piano parts will have ~20 bars of
music followed by rests/skips/nothing; your vocal parts will have
~20 bars of rest followed by their music. You can then put them in
their respective PianoStaff or ChoirStaff blocks so they get the
proper brackets. Then include the following in your \layout block to
hide the resting voices/piano:
\context {
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
the first line in this context hides staves other than in the first
system. The second line also hides the first system, but, of course,
is optional.
Lastly, you will probably want to insert \break at the point between
the piano and choir parts to have a clean switch. Since your example
has this break mid-measure due to the pickup, use:
\bar "||" \break
to allow the line break mid-measure.

You probabbly need to re-organise the way the music is defined in
lilypond. It depends on how you have it defined. If your part is
upperStaffNotes = \new Staff = "upperStaffOne" \relative c'' { <c
g'> <d
f> <c e> <a f'> }
or
upperStaffNotes = \new Staff = "upperStaffOne" \relative c'' { <<
{\voiceOne g' f e f} \new Voice = upperStaffNotesTwo {\voiceTwo c d c
a}>>\oneVoice
Then you'll need to redefine that to be
upperStaffNotesOne = \new Staff = "upperStaffOne" \relative
g'' { g f e f }
upperStaffNotesTwo = \new Staff = "upperStaffTwo" \relative
c'' { c c c a }
So you can put them on separate staves.
Not exactly that my problem. Consider I have just one music, it starts
with a piano music (about 20 bars). After that, the piano shuts up,
forever, and starts the voices.
Basically, I do not want to convert a music I have to piano to SATB.
I just want to change staffs organization.
