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

Hi Kieren,

> I still don’t understand why you don’t use chords…

Some music contain ties/slurs from voiceOne that extend to another voice in the 
next bar, e.g. second bar in the attached example.
When you are planning to prepare different instrumentation, using chords while 
typesetting is a big no no for me. e.g preparing strings arrangement from a 
piano/organ score or vice versa. I find it much easier to avoid <chords>. 

When preparing piano/organ only scores, i use <chords>, but still break entires 
into rhA, rhB, hope this clarifies. Thanks,

eby

 Hi Eby,

 voices after all these years.
 
 As they say: Patches are enthusiastically
 accepted.  =)

 I still don’t understand
 why you don’t use chords… Especially given the number of
 repetitions, this kind of coding is dead simple with
 chords:
 
 RH = {
   <cs' fs'>8 8 <cs'
 e'>8 8 8 8
 }
 
 LH = {
   <cs gs>8 8 8 8
 8 8
 }
 
 etc.
 
 I don’t
 see the benefit of partcombine, even if it *did* accept more
 than two voices.
 
 Cheers,
 Kieren.
