Re: Change size of all notes in one voice with partCombine

[Dinh Hoang Tu]

Hello Jean, Xavier,

I think these music functions are useful enough to be integrated into Lilypond itself.

I put them in my local music-functions-init.ly for personal use.

But it will be helpful for Lilypond users, including myself, to have these handy features by default.

Thank you and have a good day.

Hello Xavier,

I just submitted it to the LSR. Note that I actually have
some ideas currently simmering that would allow someone
knowledgeable about \partCombine to overhaul it in a way
that would make this kind of tweaks more simple. Though,
if wishes were horses …

Best,
Jean
