eg

\version "2.18.2"

global = {
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  s1 s1 s1
  s1
  s1 s1 \break s1
  \bar "|."
}

fragment = \relative {
  a'4 a a a
  b b b b
  c c c c
}

part = {
  \fragment
  r1
  \fragment
}

\score {
  \new Staff <<
    \new NullVoice { \clef treble \global }
    \new Voice { \part }
  >>
  \layout { }
}

If multi-stave, put the Nullvoice in each Staff with the appropriate clef.

Cheers,
