Don't use \partcombine.  Use the "funneling two different
music expressions into one context" trick (see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Creating-contexts).
Note the "<< ... >>" instead of "{ ... }".  Don't know why
the "Pedals" context didn't work for you.  In the future
post a file that compiles!  I had to populate the contexts
with notes anyway to test the problem.
