I should have send the inputcode the first time.

In this example I use two scores on the same line.
This should be possible with a construct like 
\markup { \line { \score { ...} \score {...} } }

But above every score I also have to put a markup.
I was only able to do this by using:
\markup {
   \line {
      \column { \line { ...} \score {...} } 
      \column { \line { ...} \score {...} }
   }
}

To put some space between the two columns I used the command:
\translate #'(10 . 0)

About the layout:
I mostly do not use a time signature, nor the metronomemark.
One copy of the music is in front of a (very small) choir, so I need a rather 
large font.
To have both scores properly aligned I had to use the command:
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-5.8 . 5.8)

Good luck with your struggling.
