parallel versus series scoring

I'm a newcomer to lilypond, having previously used abc. One thing I find vexing is how to enter scores so it is easy to see all the staves on the screen at the same time during coding (i.e. in the source code). The Lilypond manual explains well how to code this way: staff1, all measures staff2,

Re: parallel versus series scoring
