Yes, I forgot to mention this: As this is part of a huge score (full score is about 100 pages long!), where I try to prepare professional orchestra material for a public choir performance (and also for later public distribution of the scores!), I need the two parts also on separate staves (and in completely separate scores for the instrument 1 and the instrument 2). In this case, temporary voices won't work, because then I no longer have both instruments separately. The other thing that I have tried is simply putting both instruments on the same staff as different voices. This, however, has other problems: 1) notes of the same length are not combined into a chord, 2) stem directions have to be fixed with \voiceOne / \voiceTwo, 3) When both instruments have a rest, two rests are printed in strange locations... > Also, I hope you know you can get surprisingly far by just > combining to parallel lines of music in one and the same Voice > context: Yes, I'm aware of this, but this does not use proper stem up/down directions, plus it completely breaks when the two instruments have a slightly different rhythm, i.e. when instrument 1 has a quarter and instrument 2 has two eights. So, I'm basically back to my original question: It is possible to force \partcombine not to discard any explicit rests, that are in parallel to a note?
