Well, this is probably going nowhere fast, but it's moderately amusing
that it seems to do something:

soprano = \relative c'' { e( f) c( d) }
alto = \relative c'' { c( d) c( d) }
\new Staff \with { \consists "Stem_engraver" }
<< \new Voice \with { \remove "Stem_engraver" \voiceOne } \soprano
   \new Voice \with { \remove "Stem_engraver" \voiceTwo } \alto
>>
