instrument?

I just heard about sly now (still don't quite get it), so it might be 
too late for that since everything's already written out.

The basic format of my score:

[include file for each instrument]
[orch score header]
\score {
    [many, many instruments...an example:]
\context StaffGroup ="timpani_group" <<
        \property StaffGroup.InstrumentName \set 
#'font-magnification   = #1.25
      \context Staff ="timpani" <<
          \property Staff.midiInstrument = #"timpani"
          \property Staff.instrument = \markup { \center < "Timpani in 
E-H" > }
          \theTimpani
          >>
    >>

\midi { [stuff] }
\paper { [adjustments] }
}
For each instrument, it's essentially 'myLabel = \notes \relative X { 
NOTES }.

You probably need a separate ly file for each part.  See "An orchestral 
part" in the tutorial.  Here's an example I used for a flute part for a 
flute quartet where jinglenotes.ly has all the music.

\include "paper20.ly"
\include "jinglenotes.ly"
\header {
 title    = "Jingle Bells"
 subtitle = "For Flute Quartet"
 arranger = "Arranged by Len by Golly"
 piece    = "Flute 1"
 tagline  = ""
}
\paper {
   papersize = "letter"
   indent = 0 \in
   \translator { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }
}
\score {
   <<
   \global
   \context Staff = fluteI <<
       \property Staff.instrument = "Flute 1"
       \context Voice=one { \fluteI }
   >>
   >>
}
HTH,
