What exactly do you want to do?

If you want to align one lyric line to one voice, and another lyric line to
another voice, then you can do something like:
<<
\partcombine \sopNotes \altoNotes
\new Devnull="sop" \sopNotes
\lyricsto "sop" \sopLyrics
\new Devnull="alto" \altoNotes
\lyricsto "alto" \altoLyrics
>>

A rewrite of partcombiner is on the todo.

You can copy all the code from part-combiner.scm into your ly file, all you need
to do is to add a # before each toplevel expression to make lily understand it.
(you'll also have to re-define \partcombine etc. to make them use the new
definitions)
