Hi, Sean -

I don't know if it's "standard practice", but I always put my individual
staves into separate "functions" (is that right?), then combine them, as :

%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.19.81"
Right =
\relative c' {
  \clef treble
  \key g \major
  \time 4/4

  a4 b c d |
}

Left =
\relative c' {
  \clef bass
  \key g \major
  \time 4/4

  d4 c b a |
}

\score {
  \new GrandStaff <<
    \new Staff \Right
    \new Staff \Left
  >>
  \layout {}
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

HTH.

All the best,

Ralph
