It is often a tossup whether you are better off using the partcombiner on voices, or just \voiceOne/\voiceTwo. If, say, one of two oboes switches instruments, you just want to see this for its own voice. In fact, I find that for things like two oboes, you are almost always better off using separate voices. The partcombiner is more interesting if you try creating a piano extract or similar, where there is only one executing instrument. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
