Of course it should. But how to do so is somewhere between "extremely 
complicated" and "impossible", and nobody has decided to take on the 
programming project to date. We are fortunate it works as well as it does, due 
to the efforts of some wonderful volunteer programmers.

I use the edition-engraver, because those kinds of markups are part of the 
presentation layer (not the content layer).

Hope that helps!

Not sure what all the hullabaloo is about.

You can iterate with \partcombine:

\version "2.19.15"

trumpetOne = \relative c'' { c8 16 16 f2. }

trumpetTwo = \relative c'' { g8 16 16 a2. }

trumpetThree = \relative c' { e8 16 16 c2. }

trumpetsOneAndTwo = \partcombine \trumpetOne \trumpetTwo

trumpetThreeForPartcombine = \relative { \voiceTwo \trumpetThree }

trumpets = \partcombine \trumpetsOneAndTwo \trumpetThreeForPartcombine

  \trumpets

The example ignores what I mentioned about markup for when you have the same 
stuff on all voices or only two voices with the same parts. It still is two 
parts, and that's part of the issue I'm talking about.
