Kiriyama-san,

First, when you send a report to the list, it is best if you put the
LilyPond source in the body of the email.

Second, this is potentially a documentation bug, but not a LilyPond bug.

partcombine combines music events from the two parts, so there is a
crescendo both above and below the staff.  The music event, the crescendo,
is there.

\crescTextCresc is a command that changes a context property, rather than
the music.  So when you put the partcombine in the new Staff, it doesn't
carry over the context properties.

All you have to do is put

\crescTextCresc

in the Staff that contains the combined parts.

Thanks,

Carl

P.S. I *love* your email address!
