I'd like to have separate drum parts for readability purposes but combine them into one staff on the conductor's score. To my surprise, the partCombine function does not work at all for drum parts, so I've resulted to just combining two drum parts together into a single staff using voices. However, this doesn't merge any duplicate items like partCombine can, so any dynamics or rests in both parts will be printed twice. Any way to achieve this?
