Hi,
reading about \partcombine recently stirs up some questions. I always
considered it a tool for orchestra scores (violins of flutes). But
perhaps it's not limited to that.
My questions (and some short reasoning):
1. Does \partcombine make sense for combining *soprano and alto* into
one staff or should I use voices? I see pros (+) and cons (-):
- The fact that I would prefer the 'apart' style everywhere makes me
think that it's perhaps not what \partcombine is intended for.
= From a quick test, \partcombineApart is equivalent to two voices.
Are there exceptions?
+ The positioning of dynamics is better for partcombine.
Why are all dynamics below the staff for the voices-setup by default?
2. Does \partcombine make sense for *piano music* with different voices
starting here and there?
- Probably not as the 2...n voices are never used independently, so
I'd be better off writing voices explicitly as necessary.
Best,
Joram
