 Yea, I can understand that, sometimes lilypond things seems to
 be black magic.

 Perhaps someone more fluent in lilypond-scheme than me could
 help out.

  There is a:
 
https://gitweb.git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=blob;f=ly/satb.ly;h=9255d50d6587edd68c3ee0dbbf334812998351a9;hb=HEAD

 that might be used a starting point.

 My first try gave me:
tt.ly:72:1: error: music function cannot return ##<Score>

 But this works:
makeMidi =
#(define-music-function
  ()
  ()
  #{
  \unfoldRepeats
  <<
      \mstaffSup
      \mstaffCon
      \mstaffTen
      \mstaffBas
  >>
  #})

\score {
\makeMidi
\midi { }
}

 Where tt.ly is a copy of [1] plus the wrapping of midi parts into
 a music-function.
