The idea is right, the details are wrong, since the

several voices in one and the same stave.

However, if you have two \score blocks that look like:
\score{
  <<
   any music that is in the first score
 >>
}

\score{
  <<
   any music that is in the second score
 >>
}

Then, you can combine them into a single score, using
\score{
%%% Make a sequence of the two:
{
%%% First section:
  <<
   any music that is in the first score
 >>
%%% Add a line break, if you wish:
\break
%%% Second section:
  <<
   any music that is in the second score
 >>
%%% End of the sequence:
}
%%% End of the \score:
}
