Two \partCombine pairs on one staff
The \partCombine
function takes two music expressions each
containing a part, and distributes them among four Voice
s named
“two”, “one”, “solo”, and “chords” depending on when and how
the parts are merged into a common voice. The voices output from
\partCombine
can have their layout properties adjusted in the
usual way. Here we define extensions of \partCombine
to make
it easier to put four voices on a staff.
