Re: Dynamics placement in partCombine

[Michael Gerdau]

I presume that partCombine overrides the dynamic placement so that dynamics for the two parts are placed above and below, which seems a reasonable approach when the parts are more distinct than in the given example.  Using ^ to override it in this case seems a tolerable alternative.

Thank you for your answer.

I'm not sure that's the correct explanation though.
See this:
- snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip -
\version "2.25.9"

musa = { \dynamicUp c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' }
  c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' }
  c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } }
musb = { \dynamicUp s1
  c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' }
  c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } }

\score {
  \partCombine \musa \musb
}

\score {
  \partCombine \musb \musa
}

\score {
  \partCombine \musa \musa
}

\score {
  \partCombine \musb \musb
}
- snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip - snip -



To me this looks like a bug.

Kind regards,
Michael

  c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } }
musb = { \dynamicUp s1
  c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' }
  c'4\p \repeat unfold 3 { c' } }

\score {
  \partCombine \musa \musb
}

\score {
  \partCombine \musb \musa
}

\score {
  \partCombine \musa \musa
}

\score {
  \partCombine \musb \musb
}

When you repeat the last bar identically in both \musa and \musb the dynamics stay below in the first two scores and stay above in the second two scores.
