Hi Thomas
Despite or thanks to the rather lenghty code example you have been able
to grasp and answer almost every aspect/problem I had in mind.
I decided for two separate voices and omitting repeats according to your
recommendation.
The single (better: double ;-) ) voice as well as the SAATB (ChoirStaff)
scores are absolutely suitable.
The only disadvantage: Having 3 separate female voices now makes the use
of \partcombine for the right hand of the piano reduction unusable.
Instead I went for a simple three-voice staff, which misses the optical
optimisations of \partcombine, but works for rehearsal purposes.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers, Stephan
