Here's a longer example.  I'm trying to use partcombine with lyrics.   
We have several ways to work it around.  I'm trying to make the  
workaround simpler.

\version "2.17.20"

soprano = { g'4 r4 g'4. }
alto = { e'4 r4 e'4. }
verse = \lyricmode { My song }

\score {
  \new Staff <<
    \partcombine \soprano \alto
    \new Voice {
      \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t
      \omit Dots
      \omit Rest
      \hideNotes \soprano
    }
    \addlyrics \verse
  >>
  \layout {}
}

There is a warning about the rests.  The dots are misplaced.  The  
later might be hard to find during proofreading.

It might be especially hard to deal with rests with dots.  I'm lucky I  
haven't seen them in choral music yet.  But it's better to be prepared.
