Comment #15 on issue 984 by [email protected]: Noteheads don't merge when one of the voices contains a second
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=984
Tell you what: I'm still days away from getting my code finished (which is pretty much a rewrite of the whole function). The current code is a heap of assumptions and heuristics. Making Valentin's current bounty case (and a few more) work out better is reasonably simple in contrast, and that is what this issue and its bounty is about, and Valentin has a score to get published. You can't make this do the right thing in cases involving harmonics in non-trivial ways, and it won't ever work right with "string chords" where the individual notes have different durations, which is one of the reasons I have not further worked on patches in that area (I am actually surprised that there does not seem to be an issue for those; I remember Werner requesting them in the context of the Bach solo violin works).
So this needs to be done right, and in the mean time I have a conference talk about LilyPond coming up for which not one slide has been written yet and where I leave on Friday. I have to put this on hold till at least the next week. So go ahead with the quick fix if you want (and there is a need for it, anyway, and a bounty). It does not really interfere with my work on this function, and that will have to carry at least into next week.
