I think I read elsewhere that \partcombine is supposed to be replaced
by these same music streams. Are they documented anywhere? Will the
new \partcombine be a wrapper on top of these music streams?
Actually, music streams _are_ already used for partcombine (streams are
converted to a format which partcombine uses, the plan is to change
that format to a more powerful data structure). You can read my thesis
(see link in my other reply on lily-devel) for more info.
Thanks Erik, I saw your post after I already sent that email. I've
started reading your paper. I must say, it is very well written. I am
not used to masters thesis being so clear and easy to read.
Congratulations! I hope you got your masters with flying colors.
You obviously have a lot on your plate with this new sub-system being
integrated. Any time line on when the fundamentals will be solid enough
for the partcombine rewrite? I can donate $100 USD, but am pretty
limited otherwise.
My lilypond wishlist:
* fix the small size of shape-note heads
* allow sacred harp "modes" instead of major and minor keys. In sacred
harp, accidentals are ignored and 6ths are flattened in minor keys.
* In partcombine, let lyricsto be set to one of the parts that was
combined.
* Let partcombine combine more than two parts.
