When I've had to do this I found the easiest is to make the whole of the 2nd violin part Layer 2. Then go through manually and delete the bars where they are in unison. Finally select the whole of the second violin part (which should now only contain the bars that are different) and drop it onto the first violin stave (I think you also need to use 'Show active layer only').
If there is an easier way then I'd love to hear about it.

I think you may have to do it manually, using layers for those sections where the parts differ. Or you might consider keeping the layers for the entire part and showing stems up/down to guarantee that both parts play. -- David H.
