So \partcombine has another limitation in that it sets \partcombine b4\f b\p  
as unison despite the different dynamics.  Using \partcombineApart is the 
simple solution.

If you meant \new Staff <<..>>  in your example then I see now NullVoice helps. 
 \new Dynamics \soprano above the Staff would do similar, but then all the dynamics would 
be set on the same line.

I'll still put NullVoice in \score by default, so it doesn't interact with the 
accidental engraver, or anything else that we haven't noticed yet, and let you  
\new Staff \with { \accepts NullVoice } when you really want NullVoice included 
in the Staff.
