Hi Mats,

Thanks for the suggestions. Using \new or naming the voice contexts seems to help in some ways (no more collisions between notes and rests) but makes matters worse in others (e.g., prints three rests instead of one where all voices rest). Defining dymamics and articulations separately from the notes seems like a promising approach, though, so I'll experiment with that some.

Hi Graham (everyone),

 Thanks for the reply.  I have experimented a bit with \partcombine, but
I believe it is limited to only two voices; I need to put three or four
voices on a single staff.  Also, I'd like to have the stems "shared"
across noteheads not set in opposite directions as \partcombine does.

Just using simultaneous music, as I've been doing so far, combines
noteheads and dynamic markings exactly as I'd like, but doesn't seem to
work so well for articulation or solo sections (where it sets notes and
rests on top of each other).

You shouldn't get any collisions between notes and rests, did you remember to make a new context for each of the voices (assigning separate names for each context or using < {...} \\ {...}> or using the \new function (which is new in version 2.0)).

For dynamic markings, it may be more convenient to define them
separately from the music, so you can choose when to include them:
dynamicsA = \notes{ s1 \f \skip 1*10 s1 \pp ...}


 Does anyone know if this is supposed to work, or if there is a
workaround? Or a way to make \partcombine work with more than two voices?

You can always do it with some extra manual work, but I can't point to any automatic solution at the moment. See also http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2003-09/msg00038.html
