I don't know whether partCombine is meant to be able to handle
quoteDuring. You can use one or the other or neither to get
something that might be acceptable. As a British singer, the
lower staff in the last example is most familiar. I think
American hymnbooks use the third style, but without the a2
marking that orchestral scores usually have printed.
