How do you suggest dealing with this, then? In orchestral scores, it is common
to have parts both sharing a staff (\partcombine) and doubling other
instruments (\quoteDuring). If I can't use both these features together, it
severely reduces the utility of Lilypond for typesetting orchestral scores.

How is this not a bug? Or is that not what you're saying?
