You probably need a separate ly file for each part.  See "An orchestral 
part" in the tutorial.  Here's an example I used for a flute part for a 
flute quartet where jinglenotes.ly has all the music.

\include "paper20.ly"
\include "jinglenotes.ly"

\header {
 title    = "Jingle Bells"
 subtitle = "For Flute Quartet"
 arranger = "Arranged by Len by Golly"
 piece    = "Flute 1"
 tagline  = ""
}

\paper {
   papersize = "letter"
   indent = 0 \in
   \translator { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }
}

\score {
   <<
   \global
   \context Staff = fluteI <<
       \property Staff.instrument = "Flute 1"
       \context Voice=one { \fluteI }
   >>
   >>
}

HTH,
