As Dirk pointed out, PMX can do this by itself, and added that you should be able to access that capability from M-Tx. I can confirm that's all true, as I have done exactly that in the one and only vocal score I publish (http://www.pchpublish.com/dfc-24.html). I will confess that I ran into some pretty sticky problems when making separate parts, and had to resort to some very convoluted tricks. But if not for the parts, it would have been fairly straightforward. And...if there are no lyrics (and Hermann never said whether there were), then I guarantee you can do it all entirely within PMX, with only the slightest amount of hassle: (1) once you put in a movement break, you have to specify the total number of pages and systems in the setup information, and (2) you may want to manually tweak the space between movements. But again, you can do all of this entirely within PMX, with no in-line TeX, and certainly without creating separate files for different parts of the score.
