Re: partcombine for more than two parts?

NP>   Does anyone know if it's possible to combine more than two voices with

Just use the < and > to indicate simultaneous voices.


voiceI = \context Voice \notes {
       blah
}

anotherVoice = \context Voice \notes {
       blah blah
}

mostEloquentVoice = \context Voice \notes {
       uh
}

myStaffWithThreeVoices = \context Staff < \voiceI \anotherVoice
                               \mostEloquentVoice
                         >


                         

Also, if you want to have a file with all the voices, and another file
that combines it, just include the file with the voices:

\include "fileInWhichIDeclaredThoseThreeVoices.ly"

myStaffWithThreeVoices = \context Staff < \voiceI \anotherVoice
                               \mostEloquentVoice
                         >
