Very briefly; I think of it as building scores rather than extracting parts. I keep my music definitions for all the parts in one file and then make scores, which may only consist of a single part. I use an '\include' to call make the definitions available. maybe this will help:

Does Lilypond have features akin to Finale's linked-parts? I suspect my searching was unsuccessful since the work "part" is used so frequently in the english language. Any urls to point me in the right direction would be great. Background: composer using Finale since the early 1990's. In the past several years I have learned some code, C#, C++, SQL, tiny bits of bash. I don't know Python yet but it's on my to-do list. The idea of controlling music notation with the precision of an interpreted text language is highly appealing and I plan to learn Lilypond soon (unless it has, like, zero support for creating parts). Thank you!
