I have just spent half a day trying to work out why one staff in my
orchestral score extends beyond the final barline.
Eventually I found out that it is because \partCombine seems only
partially to understand tags.
The following example illustrates this:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.21.2"
instA = {
b'4
\tag #'versionI c''
\tag #'versionII d''
b'2 }
instB = {
g'4 g' g'2 }
\score {
\keepWithTag #'(versionI)
\partCombine \instA \instB
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
PartCombine chooses the notes for the instA line in accordance with the
tags, but adds a crotchet's worth of staff after the end of the
passage.
It also does not correctly combine the parts after the tagged section.
However, this can be got around by adding a \partCombineChords
instruction before the 3rd beat of the bar.
Does anyone know of a way of correcting the extended staff?
