Hello,

Or use \partCombine, it's not clear what you are after.

instrumentOne = \fixed c'' { \partCombineUnisono e8( f~ \partCombineChords
f2.) }
instrumentTwo = \fixed c'' { e8( f d2.) }

<<
  \new Staff \with {
    printPartCombineTexts = ##f
  } \partCombine \instrumentOne \instrumentTwo
>>

Kind regards,
Xavier
