I'm typesetting some complex polyphonic music, and have 3 Voices sharing

a 3rd Voice on the same Staff with downward Beams, so without combining,
the top two Voices would have hard-to-read clashing beams.
Please give an example, else it’s hard to judge. But it would be very
unusual in an otherwise strictly polyphonic work to use chords for just
two beats.
Is there a way to do this without using \partcombine? I realize that
it's probably possible to rewrite this with \partcombine, but it seems
to be overkill for just 2 beats.
Actually, I don’t think it’s even possible. \partcombine can’t handle
more than two voices. The only thing I could imagine is (assuming
partcombine’ voices id’s were "1", "2" and "N" (for ‘neutral’) and it
used \context:
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "1" { \voiceOne #(skip-of-length musicOne) }
\new Voice = "2" { \voiceThree #(skip-of-length musicTwo) }
\new Voice = "N" { \voiceOne #(skip-of-length musicOne) }
\partcombine \musicOne \musicTwo
\new Voice = "3" { \voiceTwo \musicThree }

That would be kind of neat, though I don’t know if it works/can be made
work reasonably easy.
Best, Simon
