The snippet you linked to can be used without repeated commenting and un-
commenting.

The intention was that you remove the indicated comments once and forever,
and split the one file from the LSR into several files:

piece.ly  score.ly  vn1.ly  vn2.ly  vla.ly  vlc.ly

All the notes for all the instruments are in piece.ly (Some people would name it
piece.ily to indicated that it is only included in other files, and does not
create a score on its own.)

the problem with this approach is that one has to edit one file that contains all the music, (which can be long) then has to switch to another file that contains the score part for the part currently being edited. It seems a simple things but it makes a big difference when one has to do that over and over.
