Simple subtitle/piece question

Hi, I have a three-movement piece and want to set the titles of the individual moments (and only them) above the respective movements, formatted large, bold and centered as subtitle rather than piece, which I find too small. I tried something like \header { subtitle = \markup { "III. " \endash "T

Hi, I seem to remember that this problem has been discussed a number of times before. As Trevor points out, the \partcombine code creates its own contexts and adds the combined notes to them depending on whether or not they are combined. I think (from memory) it creates 3 contexts, "one", "two"

Peter, \partcombine cannot handle explicit voice contexts within it - it will create its own voice contexts called one and two. So this will work: \version "2.11.41" \score{ \context Staff \partcombine \relative c' {s4. s8 b8. d16 } \relative c'
