Hi, I'm typesetting large choir pieces, and some orchestral instruments should be combined in the full score into one staff. However, when one of the two instruments (e.g. first and second hornets) is quiet, I don't want the "Solo I" or "Solo II" written above, but rather real rests printed. An example is attached (plus my attempts in lilypond, which do not show the rest in the second measure). As you can see, it's almost the same as with partcombine, except that with partcombine, there can never be a rest and a note in parallel, which is exactly what I want.
So, is there a way to prevent partcombine from swallowing rests?
