I find it awkward to split the music among variables, so I learned to use
the \tag system to mark different formatting options for part or score.
This means I don't completely separate content from presentation, but I'm
happier to have some presentation specifications stay close to the content
that required them.
violinI = R1*3
violinII = \new Voice { \relative c' {
c4 d e f
<<
\new Voice {
\tag#'score \voiceOne
a r c d
}
\new Voice {
\tag#'score \voiceTwo
\tag#'part \change Staff = "second"
f, g r b
}
\tag#'part \new Staff = "second" {
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
} % The contents of the Staff are also controlled by the tag
>>
c g e c
}}
\keepWithTag#'part \new GrandStaff { \violinII }
% GrandStaff draws a brace if the divisi lasts more than one line
\keepWithTag#'score \new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \violinI
\new Staff \violinII
>>
