Hello,

I would say this is a typical case for \partCombine.
See NR 1.5.2 Multiple voices > Automatic part combining

sopranoOne = \relative c'' {
  \key c \major
  \time 3/4
r8 a\p a4.( g8) |
\time 2/4
f g a a |
}

sopranoTwo = \relative c' {
  \key c \major
  \time 3/4
r8 f f4.( e8) |
d e f f
}

\score {
  \new Staff \with {
    instrumentName = "Sopraan"
    shortInstrumentName = "S."
    \dynamicUp
  } {
   \partCombine \sopranoOne \sopranoTwo
  }
  \layout {}
}

Cheers,
Xavier
