To make this go smoothly, you will probably need to keep in mind how 
\partcombine works. \partcombine takes two music expressions and routes 
each note into one of four Voices (depending on whether the players are
in unison, making chords, or soloI or soloII) and the system is a bit 
fragile.  If you manage the voices in the expressions that go into 
\partcombine, that can confuse the system. 

If you include the dynamics in the music for each player as it goes into 
\partcombine, it will merge the dynamics and keep them attached to the 
voice that is printing the notes so they are aligned to the notes.

\new Staff { \transpose c c' \partcombine \aa \bb }
