You can either use multiple \book {...} sections in one .ly file, which will 
then create multiple pdfs, which are unfortunately numbered, e.g. 
telemann-1.pdf, telemann-2.pdf, ... You can, however, also use
    #(define output-suffix "VcB")
to define a suffix for the filename. A number will still be added, so the 
filename for the \book(s) after this definition will be telemann-VcB-3.pdf, 
etc. This will work only in lilypond >= 2.11, though.

Attached is an example to show you how this works. It creates five files for 
VI, VII, Va, VcB and a FullScore.


The other way (e.g. if this file naming is too unflexible for you) is to 
create separate input files and one file with all the music definitions. Each 
file for VI, VI, etc. would include the file with the music definitions, and 
you can write a makefile to build all five files with a simple make.

You need to add a separate score for each piece, and in each of these scores, 
you can set the piece to something separate...
Cheers,
