Whu not use \startStaff and \stopStaff, like:

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \relative c' {
        \clef alto c1 c \stopStaff s1
        \startStaff b1 b \stopStaff s1
        \startStaff a1 a \stopStaff
      }
    }
    \new Staff {
      \relative c' {
         \clef alto c1 c \stopStaff s1
         \startStaff b1 b \stopStaff s1
         \startStaff a1 a \stopStaff
      }
    }
    \new Staff {
      \relative c' {
         \clef alto c1 c \stopStaff s1
         \startStaff b1 b \stopStaff s1
         \startStaff a1 a \stopStaff
      }
    }
 >>
}

See staff-halfway.ly [1] in the regression tests.
