  \relative c''
   \context Staff <
          \context Voice = VA { \voiceOne \include "mpc-pt1.ly" }
          \context Voice = VB { \voiceThree \include "mpc-pt2.ly" }
          \context Voice = VC { \voiceTwo \include "mpc-pt3.ly"  }

in a .sly file, one measure per line (why comment?):

cis2 b | b4 ais ~ ais4 gis4 | fis4~  fis4 f ~ f  | 4th part goes nowhere
cis2 b | b4 ais ~ ais4 gis4 | fis4~  fis4 f ~ f  | 4th part goes nowhere
cis2 b | b4 ais ~ ais4 gis4 | fis4~  fis4 f ~ f  | 4th part goes nowhere

for barchecks (not tested):

|cis2 b || b4 ais ~ ais4 gis4 || fis4~  fis4 f ~ f  | 4th dummy part
