We prefer you to do that so we don't have to second guess what you are
really trying to do.

That's because your example is so simple that it doesn't make it clear
what you want to concatentate. The response assume you're just
concatenating the notes into one part, whereas I suspect you actually
want to deal with the three *scores* that LP has instantiated
automatically. If so, then it would make your example less ambiguous
if you were to write out the \score { … } constructions explicitly.

With that assumption, there are several things you need to do in order
to concatentate scores:

All but the first score need \indent=0 as well as
\context { \Staff \omit TimeSignature } which can both go in the
layout. To get consecutive bar numbers, you need to put
\set Score.currentBarNumber=#51 and so on into a part.
However, that won't print a bar number for the first bar of a score
section for which you additionally need
\once \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible \bar 
""

You will have to accept a line break at each change of score, but then
the only reason I would break a piece down into score fragments is
because it's made up of sections with grossly differing layouts
(like number of parts/choirs/soloists/accompaniment etc).

David.
