Is there a way to combine two voices and print both stems (up and down) when the voices share a note? \partcombine does not appear to do this by default.
American SATB hymns are typically engraved with the soprano and alto voices combined and the tenor and bass voices combined. If a note in the soprano voice has the same duration as the note in the alto voice, then the notes for soprano and alto will share a stem. If the durations are different, then there is no sharing. And if the notes are the same duration and the same pitch, then the note with have both an up stem and a down stem. For example, on this web page, about 2/3rds of the way down the page, you can see several hundred(!) scanned versions of Amazing Grace: http://www.hymnary.org/text/amazing_grace_how_sweet_the_sound The Lilypond docs discuss automatic part combining here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices#automatic-part-combining But I don’t see anything that would make \partcombine print two stems when voices share a note. I’d appreciate any help. David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
