Re: partcombine - upper voice rests not printed

[Eby Mani]

Thanks, SoundsFromSound and Simon.

The trouble with using \partcombineApart for this particular score is, there are plenty of such critical rests on upper voice and doing a piano reduction of these.

Is there any way to merge the stems/flags and rests that share the same notes/rest on upper and lower voices like "partcombine" and use the standard polyphony(print different rests and notes) so to avoid partcombine feature ?.

e.g. some command like \mergesamenotes \mergesamerests.

thanks,

Hi Eby,

this is likely one of many bugs and shortcomings in the default
behaviour of the partcombiner. See the issue tracker…

Best, Simon
