I remember that we had some old clef discussion about some mensural clef
provided by LilyPond and mimicking a manuscript several years ago.

It turned out that the clef in question was indeed two overlayed C
clefs, one for the soprano voice and one for alto (or mezzo?): both were
entered in the same staff but with different vertical offsets so that
either voice, even though combined into one staff, weas written in the
key the respective singers were accustomed to.

That's not as much a "combining" as a "combined" clef, however.

No idea whether this is related.
