I am working on a four-part choral score with piano accompaniment. A
simplified version is attached.[*]
The vocal score looks great. Stems are in different directions for the
different voices, exactly as I want.
However, I would like the piano score, based on the exact same music
objects, to combine the voices into chords and single notes as
appropriate, and I can’t seem to figure out how to flatten the voices
together. I’ve tried various invocations of \oneVoice, but they don’t
seem to do anything.
[Also interesting is what happens if you get rid of the \key declaration
in the piano staves; LilyPond seems to give up on creating chords
altogether and just madly overlaps notes.]
If I am just missing something in the doc, I’d love a pointer.
Thanks,
Chris

in case you were wondering.
