I didn't find a clear example in the docs so I threw this together.  I 
hope this clarifies things:


%%%%% BEGIN LILYPOND %%%%%

\version "2.11.56"

global = {
        \time 4/4
        \tempo 4 = 120
        s1 % skip value of a whole note (invisible rest)
        \time 3/4
        \bar "||"
        s2. % skip value dotted half
}

one = \relative c' {
        c4 d e f
        g a b
}

two = \relative c' {
        c4 b a g
        f e d
}

\score {
        \context StaffGroup <<
        \context Staff <<
                \global
                \one
                >>
        \new Staff <<
                \two
                >>
        >>
}

\score {
        \context Staff <<
                \global
                \one
        >>
}
\score {
        \context Staff <<
                \global
                \two
        >>
}

%%%%% END LILYPOND %%%%%
