I have found two problems with this method.

1) Any slurs and markings on the notes still print, just far above the
staff.
I solved this by making a dummy part with just notes and durations, using
melismas to make extenders and hyphens work properly.

2) The note columns in the treble and bass clefs don't line up.
I have tried to solve this by:
- Changing the shiftOn level
- Adding the dummy part to the bass cleff
- Moving the parts around

I know lyricsto with partcombine has been a problem for years, so I'm sure
somebody has solved it by now. Any ideas?
