Hi Malte, well, if I go by your setup, I could theoretically move the six \score blocks into my master file, so long as I rename the instruments for each movement (and then eventually for each mass as well, if I wanted to combine all six masses into one document), and then make a parts.ly file to make the parts. That seems the simplest approach to get what I want.
This is the kind of thing I really hope gets into the eventual Lily course manual: how to set up a file structure for larger ensemble works, with diagrams and case examples for, say, duo, chamber ensemble, orchestra, opera, and large-scale collaborative works requiring distributed note-entry on a git server. Thanks for the help. I'll get to (sigh) restructuring all my files and renaming all the Voices.
