Double slurs on automatic part combining

2013-09-05 Thread Carl Peterson
I am using the automatic part combiner in preparing SATB hymn sheets.

My approach to handling parts for hymn settings is to define the music for the verses and chorus independently and then apply nested simultaneous and sequential voices. So, for instance, \score { << \new Staff = "top" { << \new Voice = "sopRef" { \sopRefrainNotes } \new Voice = "altRef" {
