I don't know how it could be done, and i strongly recommend not doing
this. Separating different types of content is in my opinion very
beneficial, for example i use the following template for choral music
and i find it very logically structured, clear to read and easy to
maintain (for example i can easily change an existing piece to be
written on two staves instead of four just by changing structure in
"choir" block):
\version "2.12.3"
\pointAndClickOff
\header {
title = ""
subtitle = ""
poet = "słowa: "
composer = "muzyka: "
arranger = "opracowanie: "
}
global = {
\autoBeamOff
\key
\time
}
scoretempomarker = {
\tempo
\set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t
}
%--------------------------------MUSIC--------------------------------
sopranomelody = \relative c'' {
\bar "|."
}
altomelody = \relative f' {
\bar "|."
}
tenormelody = \relative c' {
\bar "|."
}
bassmelody = \relative f {
\bar "|."
}
akordy = \chordmode {
}
%--------------------------------LYRICS--------------------------------
sopranotext = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. "
}
altotext = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. "
}
tenortext = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. "
}
basstext = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. "
}
stanzas = \markup {
}
%--------------------------------THE BIG STRUCTURE

choirpart = {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\scoretempomarker
\new ChordNames { \germanChords \akordy }
\new Staff = soprano {
\clef treble
\set Staff.instrumentName = "S "
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "S "
\new Voice = soprano {
\global
\set Voice.midiInstrument = "clarinet"
\sopranomelody
}
}
\new Lyrics = sopranolyrics \lyricsto soprano \sopranotext
\new Staff = alto {

\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "A "
\new Voice = alto {

\set Voice.midiInstrument = "english horn"
\altomelody
}
}
\new Lyrics = altolyrics \lyricsto alto \altotext
\new Staff = tenor {
\clef "treble_8"
\set Staff.instrumentName = "T "
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "T "
\new Voice = tenor {
\global
\set Voice.midiInstrument = "english horn"
\tenormelody
}
}
\new Lyrics = tenorlyrics \lyricsto tenor \tenortext
\new Staff = bass {
\clef bass
\set Staff.instrumentName = "B "
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "B "
\new Voice = bass {
\global
\set Voice.midiInstrument = "clarinet"
\bassmelody
}
}
\new Lyrics = basslyrics \lyricsto bass \basstext
>>
}
%---------------------------------MIDI---------------------------------
\score {
\unfoldRepeats \choir
\midi {
\context {
\Staff \remove "Staff_performer"
}
\context {
\Voice
\consists "Staff_performer"
\remove "Dynamic_performer"
}
}
}
%--------------------------------LAYOUT--------------------------------
\score {
\choir
\layout {
indent = 0\cm
\context {
\Staff \consists "Ambitus_engraver"
}
}
}
\stanzas
(if anyone wants to use this template, feel free to do it).
cheers,
Janek
