It's never too late for anything, once you learn the habit to put your 
parts in variables, and organise these in a score afterwards.

e.g.

fluteOne = \relative { .... music for flute One .... }

fluteTwo = \relative { .... music for flute Two .... }

\score {
    <<
    \new Staff \fluteOne
    \new Staff \fluteTwo
    >>
    \layout {}
    \midi {}
}

There are also commands for things like staffname, to make the midi 
playback sound like 2 flutes instead of the default pianosound, to tweak 
the layout, and much more. Check the LilyPond manuals.
