Yes, apparently, the issue that bites me is that partcombine detects even a single note played by only one instrument as a "solo". So partcombine will (almost) never print out a rest in parallel with a note in the other instrument. In real scores, there is a de-facto threshold before a rest in one instrument is regarded as a solo in the other instrument. If partcombine allowed such a (ideally user-settable) threshold property, it would fit my needs just fine.... > As Mats said, > we know \partcombine is lacking but I'm not aware of > any development effort going into it at present. I would actually work on it to fix my problems. But looking at the code, I'm absolutely lost, mainly because (a) I don't know how lilypond works internally (and there is no documentation about this, only the API documentation, which does not help with understanding how lilypond works), (b) I'm new to scheme, so reading scheme code takes a bit longer than other languages like C++, java or python, and (c) I don't really understand the data structures used, and (d) the scm<=>c bindings and the interaction of the two languages is also not so clear to me... So, basically, I would need at least some pointers on where I should start looking (I suppose in part-combiner.scm, in the determine-split-list function...? But then, here my problems start, as I don't know anything about the data structures and the way the part combination really works...).
