Hi Dominic,
Have you tried using \partcombineApart and \partcombineAutomatic? (See
code below). See also Notation Reference 1.5.2 - Automatic Part Combining
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices
There are also \partcombineUP and \partcombineDOWN flavours of
\partcombine (same syntax as \partcombine) which force both the parts to
use the specified stem direction when combined.
The code below is still a work-round to get the a2 to print, but you
might want to use this as a template.
The \partcombine call is pretty horrible but this way you get the
\partcombinemumble directives applied to both parts without having to
add them individually to each the music for each instrument.
At the moment you get dynamics above and below the combined stave, but
you could control this with tags on the flutedyn variable so it only
gets used when you're print out the flute part.
Hope this gives you some ideas to work around the restriction without
too much pain (and typing) in your big score.
HTH, Cheers,
Ian

If two instruments are playing in unison for a long while, and continue to
do so even following a multi-measure rest, I want a reminder 'a2' to be
printed where they resume (i.e. in the 3rd bar of the example). In a large
orchestral score, it is useful to have reminders even if they are
technically superfluous, especially when the second one is on a different
page. I need a function that effectively says Take whatever the previous
CombineTextScript said, and reprint it at the given location
I have tried explicitly inserting /partcombineUnisono/ or turning
/printPartCombineTexts/ off then immediately on again, in an attempt to jolt
Lilypond into forgetting any prevailing a2 status, but
