Greetings,
Can the variables? soloText and its companions soloIIText, etc. be set
at a higher level than \new Staff so it doesn't have to be repeated
for each staff? (Notation Manual 1.5.2)
You can do it more globally in a \layout block if you want it to apply
to all staves. Otherwise, put the variable definitions in a \with block
that can be referenced on individual staves.

\version "2.22.0"
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
soloText = girl
soloIIText = boy
aDueText = together
}
}
combineTexts = \with {
soloText = cat
soloIIText = dog
}
\new Staff <<
\partCombine
\relative c'' { g4 g r r a2 g }
\relative c'' { r4 r a( b) a2 g } >>
\new Staff \with \combineTexts <<
\partCombine
\relative c'' { g4 g r r a2 g }
\relative c'' { r4 r a( b) a2 g } >>
