In LilyPond you don't actually extract parts.  You build scores.  You 
can build a score which contains all the instruments of an ensemble, or 
you can build a score which contains only one part.

If you are trying to "extract parts" from a piece in the Mutopia project 
you will have to identify the parts you want and then write a small 
LilyPond file in which you use only that part.

Hope this helps.
