But (I suspect, I haven't tried it) it will probably also lose the 
associated rests. partcombine loses them which is fine if it prints the 
solo/a2 stuff, but not if it doesn't.

If it hasn't been done, it sounds like it would be a good idea to try 
and combine the voice combining and part combining code with switches to 
say how much should be merged/dropped. I'll try and take a look (it'll 
probably be a good project to learn C++ :-) but as usual my problem is 
finding time.

Cheers,
