Unfortunately, the part combiner is very buggy in general and it's
also very limited in scope, for example since it only can handle
two voices.
Have you tried to simply let your three lines of music appear in the
same Voice context? This is far from a perfect solution, but can still
work surprisingly well in many situations:
\new Staff \new Voice << \sopI \sopII \alto >>
/Mats
Quoting Benedict Singer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi all,
I'm working on a choral piece for SSATBB using 2.10, and would love
to get an automatic piano reduction to go along with it. With 4 vocal
parts this was no problem, but I'm not sure if it's possible in a
clean way with 6. What I've been trying so far is essentially the
following:
right hand:
\partcombine { << { \sop1 } // { \stemUp \sop2 } >> \alto }
left hand:
\partcombine { \tenor << { \stemDown \bass1 } // { \bass2 } >> }
This "works", in that it gets all 6 parts on two lines. However,
things like: slurs, triplet brackets, etc are overlapping all over
the place, since they're not combined between the two parts in the <<
{ } \\ { } >> notation. Additionally, rests are not combined there
when they can be, so if all 3 parts are tacet at that point, there
are two rests in the piano line. Lilypond complains all over the
place about stems and such overlapping too. I searched the LSR, but
didn't find anything besides the current 4 part template. If the
current approach is the only way, is there a way to do things like
turn off the rests in one part when in the piano reduction, but not
in the score, same with articulations, etc - besides tagging every
single thing.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Ben
