I would say that \partcombine is a function that applies to two music
expressions.
It creates Voices as necessary for the combined music.
\partcombineAutomatic applies to the combined music at a given musical
moment, and applies to both of the arguments to \partcombine at that
time.

The reason I would not say that \partcombine applies to a staff is that
it doesn't set anything special for the Staff.  It converts two separate
music expressions into a set of music expressions necessary to support
the appropriate combined Voices.
