Use tags to define the line-breaks. Use:

music = {
        ...
        \tag #'part { \break }
        ...
        \tag #'score { \break }
        ...
}

in-line in the music, and then in your score definition:

\keepWithTag #'score \music

and in the score block for the parts:

\keepWithTag #'part \music
