But it should have an option to set start and end of typesetting (so it 
doesn't have to be the _last_ pieces of music).
Maybe an optional parameter: If there is one param LilyPond typesets the 
end of the music, if there are two params they are read as start and end 
position?

I often use spacers in a separate voice to keep the staves alive for the 
whole piece in advance. Or I enter the parts one after another (so there 
is music from the first to last bar present when entering additional parts).
So I think it is _necessary_ to be able to freely define a range instead 
of only the end.

I think measure numbers should be the most generic unit here. Other 
option would be ly:make-moment. E.g. 4 1 to define a range.
