OK, I think it is better to enter the voices seperately, as suggested by
Jan, too. Some future version of Lilypond might be able to combine them
into one staff.
I stumbled over another problem:
the notated key in the piece is changing sometimes at a double bar line.
I don't know how to handle instruments that have rests around these
key changes. In the score, I'd like to put rests, then the double bar
with key change (at the same position for every instrument), then again
rests. But in the part, it might be better to have just the rests,
omitting the double bar, and the key change just before the notes start again.
This would make the key change more noticable to the player and omit
the multimeasure rest signs be split into two parts. What do you think?
Again, how is this handled in printed music?

This occurs too in the piece I am entering (first mvt of Brahms' piano
concerto d minor), where the violas have divisi parts
and the first violins have sections marked "ein Pult" (don't know how
anglophones call it). It might get complicated in pieces like e.g.
the slow movement of the second piano concerto, where there is a cello
solo. I don't know how it is done in printed music, but I think the
part for the solo cello should be identical to the cello tutti part, except
at the solo sections, where the notes are replaced by the solo. But this
is possible with Lilypond even now.
