I often use this approach, replace your score block with

\score {

\new ChoirStaff <<
    \new ChordNames { \harmoniesA \harmoniesB \harmoniesC }
    \new Staff
      {
           <<    \new Voice = "partA" { \melodyA  }
               \new Voice = "partAI" { \melodyAI }
               \new Voice = "partAII" { \melodyAII } >> \break
    \new Voice = "partBI" { \melodyBI \break}
    \new Voice = "partC" { \melodyC }
  }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "partA" \lyricsAI
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "partAI" \lyricsAII
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "partAII" \lyricsAIII
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "partBI" \lyricsBI
    \new Staff { \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
                 s1*12 \new Voice = "partBII" { \melodyBII } }
    \new Lyrics    \lyricsto "partBII" \lyricsBII
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "partC" \lyricsC

>>

\layout {  \context {
                        \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
           }
}
  \midi { }
}
