That is because your .ly file is not (yet) meant to generate
individual parts. I don't know what example you've taken, but if you
look at the code, you'll probably see that every part is defined as a
variable:
violinOne = { some notes here }
viola = { some other notes}
Then the variables are gathered in a \score block :
\score {
<<
\new Staff \violinOne
\new Staff \viola
[etc.]
>>
}
All you have to do is change the score block to remove every part you
do not want:
\score {
\new Staff \violinOne
}
And then you may add another \score block afterwards, with another part:
\score {
\new Staff \viola
}
This way every individual part will be printed sequentially. If you
write \book instead of \score, you will obtain the parts in different
PDF files.
