sectionA.ily:
\relative c' {\time 4/4 c1 |}

sectionB.ily:
\relative c' {e1 |}

score.ly:
\score {
  \new Staff {
    \include "sectionA.ily"
    \include "sectionB.ily"
  }
}

(I haven't tested the above, but this shows the idea.)

Alternatively you could assign the sections to variables and use those
instead of using \include directly:


sectionA.ily:
sectionA = \relative c' {\time 4/4 c1 |}

sectionB.ily:
sectionB = \relative c' {e1 |}

score.ly:
\include "sectionA.ily"
\include "sectionB.ily"

\score {
  \new Staff {
    \sectionA
    \sectionB
  }
}
