Erik, Han-Wen, All, I have been experimenting with the part combiner. I know very little about scheme, being mainly a C/C++/assembler guy. Therefore, it is with due humility that I suggest changes, because I really have no idea what I'm doing.
Erik's change did not achieve the desired effect. The part combiner, by itself, does much of what I want. However, notes in unison in both parts and notes a second apart should be engraved in parts rather than as a single note or chord. I changed part-combiner.scm as follows: < (> 0 (ly:pitch-steps (ly:pitch-diff (car pitches1) ---- > (>= 1 (ly:pitch-steps (ly:pitch-diff (car pitches1) That achieves the desired result. Since I am using a common hymnal formatting convention, you may wish to consider making the part combiner adjustable this way without resorting to a change to the source. Special thanks to Erik for pointing me in the right direction.
