Surely the octaves can change? (I'm a very new lilypond user but a
fairly confident sed user so I might be completely misunderstanding
something)

<c c'> <d d'> <e e'> <f f'> goes to
c d e f 
c' d' e' f'


Even something like
<c e> <c f> <c g> <c a> doesn't work because it needs to be
c c c c
e f g, a

(Given that the OP wants to separate these out into parts it's probably
the case that the music doesn't do this but ...)

It might be sufficient to drop all the ' and , and then let the OP put
them back by hand if that doesn't cause too many places where the octave
goes wrong.

"s/,'//g" first on the file
