Help with String Orchestra Template Please

[Reggie]

Good afternoon.

I would really appreciate if some help could come from someone who knows how
to begin engraving a score that I need to do for a job. It is a string
orchestra piece but the divisi is confusing me I have no idea where to
start. Is there any template for this please?

The piece begins in a standard Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello, Bass
arrangement from page 1 however as the piece continues the violin I
"instrument" gets divided into 6 for long periods. As this, each Violin I
divisi get it's own staff. Very clean. I have fear when I go to make my
"parts" that I will have to have a messy 6-stave part for Violin I if I
engrave from the beginning, and simply "add ossia staff" as I go, and this
is not ideal.

Please look at my attached photos that show a few of what I am talking
about. I would be so appreciate if someone could show me how to begin this
engraving so the full score has 6-divided staffs correctly, and the parts
files can be separated and not a 6-staff mess per player for all violin 1
parts.  Is this possible in LilyPond? Thank you so kindly.

I'd like to use the template for other instruments later, like viola and
violin 2. Copy and paste I assume.

I am lost as to how to even begin to setup my score for full score and
parts. Thanks for any guidance. I really do not want to need to go back to
Finale.

PS the attached score is not my work it's a sample of what I mean with
divisi.
