Thanks for getting back to me Aaron and throwing me a rope ....
I understand the two models you describe. I thought I was going for the second
i.e. a single sequential part, but I want to put each section on a different
line - this will help me enormously with proof-reading.
What I see in the preview without the score block is just what I want, for this
part of my process - is there no (simple) way to embed it in a score block to
get it into a pdf and also into a midi file? Would each line need to be its own
score with the midi file produced in its own separate block?
I think my fundamental problem is I don't understand why this, below, isn't an
example of the sequential model (isn't it "one music") - can you tell me what
Lilypond is objecting to?
\version "2.24.3"
\score {
\mark "ON079-1a-_01" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 d''8
\mark "ON079-1a-_02" \key c\major \time 9/8 a'8 a'8 a'8 d''4 d''8 e''8 f''8 g''8
\mark "ON079-1a-_03" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 f''8
\layout { }
\midi { }
}

\score basically expects just one "music". You are providing many
"musics". The question is how you want to handle it.
Normally, we have simultaneous music where the parts are meant to run in
parallel. But you can also do sequential music.
So, this means your \score block should have one of these two patterns:
%%%%
\score {
<<
...simultaneous music...
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
%%%%
\score {
{
...sequential music...
}
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
%%%%
