Re: partcombine with 3-4 voices, flags not merged

Hi Eby,

On the page

  
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices#automatic-part-combining>

is found the following:

  Known issues and warnings
  All \partcombine… functions can only accept two voices.

Supporting more than two voices is a long-standing feature request.

I’ve never found that to be true, despite setting a great deal of piano music: 
either the music is truly chordal (in which case I find it easiest to write out 
as chords), or the music is contrapuntal (in which case, multiple voices 
*without partcombine* is the correct approach).

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
