In what sense do you want to combine them? Do you want both score to appear in the same output PDF file (if so, see http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=310) or do you want to have a single .ly file that produces two separate PDF files (in that case, use \book as described in

Hello Mario, if you want to build one PDF from two .ly-files, you can also surround the scores with a \bookpart statement. Then you produce another .ly.file, wich includes the two sources. I often use this to combine several pieces to a 'book' and still be able to produce single PDFs piece
