If I may make a suggestion for this whole paragraph?
--snip--
In professional scores, voices are often kept apart for long periods -
even if
one or two notes actually coincide and could easily be printed as @emph{unisono}. Combining notes into a chord, or to print one voice
as solo is
therefore not ideal as the @code{\partcombine} function considers each
note
separately.
For this reason, the @code{\partcombine} function can be overriden
with the
following commands:

Again do we @emph{} unisono? I assume this is a musical term and not
just a
mis-translation of foreign usage?
I believe "unisono" is a Dutch usage, so I've changed it to "unison", although it is hardwired into the names of functions like \partCombineUnisono. http://codereview.appspot.com/4188056/diff/1003/Documentation/notation/simultaneous.itely#newcode856 Documentation/notation/simultaneous.itely:856: Combine the notes to a chord.

There was much discussion on 'chord' vs 'not chord' unrelated to this,
but still
enough to worry some. So is 'chord' the correct term here? I have no
preference
but am just pre-empting discussion.
I think it's safe, given the names of the commands. Whether the commands are correctly named may be another discussion! http://codereview.appspot.com/4188056/diff/1003/Documentation/notation/simultaneous.itely#newcode860 Documentation/notation/simultaneous.itely:860: The two voices are unisono.

Now add the final sentence from above:
All commands ending in @code{...Once} apply only to the following
note.

It is therefore implicit and unnecessary to state what the code that

in 'once' does. So I have removed that sentence.

Maybe I have missed something but this looks a tad complicated for an

and would be better served as a snippet instead. We don't often use
variables
like this in @lilypond except when explicitly discussing variables.
It may be more confusing to write it without variables; \partcombine is certainly easier to do *with* than without, and I believe the example is nearly unreadable without variables. Other tastes are of course different! http://codereview.appspot.com/4188056/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
