There is a built-in template almost exactly like this in LilyPond already
which may be used to typeset a range of choral music, with or without
accompaniment, in two or four staves. 

See 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/built_002din-templates

It's not in a stable release yet, as it just missed the 2.18 releases.  But it
is available in all the 2.19 releases.
