Hi Ming,

partcombine takes two parameters of music. The difference is, that you
wrap your music in Voice contexts. These Voice context are also created
from within the voices partcombine creates, so the partcombinig effect
is overridden. To have partcombine work and also have lyrics aligned to
one of the voices, you can use a NullVoice context:

<<
    \partcombine << \global \sopMusic >> << \global \altoMusic >>
    \new NullVoice = "soprano" { \voiceOne \sopMusic }
  >>

This is documented in the docs:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/nullvoice

Best, Jan-Peter

Thank you for the info pointing me to the right place documentation about NullVoice & partcombine.

I apply your sample code to my .ly file and it works.

Emmanuel,
