Yes, that's (unfortunately) correct.
I have (say) two flute parts that will be printed individually in parts. 
But in the score they should be combined (which is what \partcombine 
should be good for ...).

But for some reasons I have to enclose the flute parts in explicit 
voices, and this doesn't seem to work with \partcombine.

% fluteI

one = \relative c'' {
  c1 ~
}

two = \relative c'' {
  c1
}

fluteI = \new Voice {
  \one
  \two
}

etc.

the \new Voice construct is necessary to enable the tie in this example.

I have no clue if I can get out of this situation with real hassles. 
Therefore I asked if there's a way to "extract" the plain music 
expression out of \fluteI here.
