Re: partcombine problem

[Trevor Daniels]

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'{ s4.   a8 <b g>8. d16 }
}

However, you will then find that the stems of the lower voice are down when 
the two parts are different, and from memory I think you will have 
difficulty attaching lyrics to one of the implicitly defined voices 
(although I may be wrong).

At the moment I cannot see a way of doing what you want easily.
