IIUC you want to typeset two separate voices - one with stems up, and 
one with stems down.
In this case you should not use the part combiner - which is used for 
combining more voices into ONE voice.

You are looking for something like

 \context Voice=one { \voiceOne
 \property Voice.Slur \override #'attachment = #'(stem . stem)
 \flautoI }
 \context Voice=two { \voiceTwo
 \property Voice.Slur \override #'attachment = #'(stem . stem)
 \flautoII }


In the notes-file you should erase all \stemXXX and \slurXXX statements.
