Yes, it has. I tried once to combine soprano and alto voices and
although it produced fine looking music the biggest obstacle was
attaching lyrics to the combined "voice". It might be possible to use
it by using associatedVoice but that was too complex and I decided to
create the voice by hand with chords <x y>.

If someone has found out  a solution that will allow attaching lyrics
to "partcombined" voice I'd be very happy to hear of it. :-)
