Well, I was wondering whether Patrick was trying to do, in one score,
what I sometimes do with more than one. It's where you have a choral
piece which can be set on two staves where it's homophonic, but it has
a polyphonic section where it needs four. By starting a new score at a
line \break, it's easy to use \set Score.currentBarNumber and \firstBar
firstBar = {
  \once \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
  \bar "" % don't print a bar line
}
to run the scores all together.

That's why I asked what the OP actually wanted to do, but the response
didn't seem very responsive.

Cheers,
David.
