Documentation/notation/simultaneous.itely:1052: The
@code{\partcombine} command
can only accept two voices.
Leave the text as it was originally, but add something
like:
"However, this effect can be achieved by adding a separate
@code{RhythmicStaff}, and tweaking it so it is completely
hidden, and takes up no extra space. A named @code{Voice}
context within the @code{RhythmStaff} can contain one of
the two combined voices,and the @code{Lyrics} context can
use this to align the lyrics.  For details see
@qq{Using part-combine with lyrics} in
@rlsr(Vocal music)."

Folks, this is the reference manual, not "obscure hacks for adventureous
geeks".  If we anticipate that a task is common enough to warrant an
entry in the reference manual, it warrants a user interface.

We might or might not want to cobble this user interface together using
a technique like that, but if we are really proud of it, we can still
point out that the implementation, to be found in xxx.ly, might be
instructive.

So what would be a nice and natural user interface, and what pieces are
missing from it?
