One \score is a 4-bar PianoStaff intro only, then the second \score is the rest of the arrangement, that contains ChordNames, FretBoards, a Voice with Lyrics, and a PianoStaff for the accompaniment.
When I tried to do this as a single score, I put skips in all the parts other than the PianoStaff for the intro 4-bar section, and used \RemoveEmptyStaffContext to try and "hide" all the other parts, but while they didn't visibly engrave anything, they created a lot of padding between the header and the first system which I just couldn't figure out how to get rid of. Creating this as two scores visibly creates the visual look I'm looking for (no unnecessary padding, etc.) but I just learned that I can't create a single MIDI file from them. Really, LP should let me specify a \midi section at the \book level and have it generate a MIDI file for all \score's contained in the \book. :-/ -- Dossy Shiobara | "He realized the fastest way to change do...@panoptic.com | is to laugh at your own folly -- then you http://panoptic.com/ | can let go and quickly move on."
