Re: sacredHarpHeads in partcombine sections

[Steve Tarr]

Eluze,
The major/minor key issue isn't relevant here; I get the same results if I
specify a major key and sacredHarpHeads or if I specify a minor key and
sacredHarpHeadsMinor.

The workaround you suggest gives the correct note head shapes but doesn't
handle the notehead and stem directions in the way that I want.  Expanding
the example to show the three different approaches that I've tried:

\version "2.17.7"

PartOne = \relative a' { \sacredHarpHeads a4 c4 a4 c4 }
PartTwo = \relative a' { \sacredHarpHeads a4 a4 c4 c4 }

\partcombine \PartOne \PartTwo

<< \PartOne \\ \PartTwo >>

\new Staff <<
    \new Voice { \PartOne }
    \new Voice { \PartTwo }
>>

Partcombine combines the notes and stems as I'd like but changes the notes
in the third position from sacredHarpHeads to conventional heads.

<< \\ >> displays separate stems for each part.  That's the correct behavior
for this construction, but not what I'm trying to achieve here.

If I use explicit voices for each part, the stem directions are handled
independently for each voice so I lose the information that the voices are
crossing over each other.  (And I get warning messages about note collisions
when I compile this.)

Of all of these, partcombine is the only one that handles the combination of
the parts and the note stem directions in the way I'd like but it breaks the
shape-note heads.
