I'm not sure that "\partcombine" is the best option. You could try using
"Voice" contexts, something along the following lines (for the combined
score):
%---CUT---
\version "2.10.10"
soprano = \relative c'' {
% ... Notes here ...
}
alto = \relative c'' {
% ... Notes here ...
}
tenor = \relative c {
% ... Notes here ...
}
basse = \relative c {
% ... Notes here ...
}
upper = \context Staff = "Upper" {
\clef G
<<
\context Voice = "Soprano" { \voiceOne \soprano }
\context Voice = "Alto" { \voiceTwo \alto }
>>
}
lower = \context Staff = "Lower" {
\clef F
<<
\context Voice = "Tenor" { \voiceOne \tenor }
\context Voice = "Basse" { \voiceTwo \basse }
>>
}
pianoStaff = <<
\context PianoStaff = "Piano" <<
\upper
\lower
>>
>>
%---CUT---
Then you can add separate staves for the instrument parts:
%---CUT---
recorderOneStaff = \context Staff = "RecorderOne" {
\soprano
}
recorderTwoStaff = \context Staff = "RecorderTwo" {
\alto
}
% etc.
%---CUT---
If you need more voices on one staff, there is also "\voiceThree" and
"\voiceFour" (see manual).
Best,
Gilles
