Re: partcombine doesn't work with 'clashing notecolumns'

[arie-lily]

David,

I followed both your suggestions: upgrade to lilypond 1.6.10 and renamed
the threads to unique names.
But still \partcombines complains about too many clashing notecolumns
for the tenor voices. If I change one of those from \relative c' to
\relative c'' they nicely combine (as do the alt voices), so (imho) it
can't be an error in the music definitions...

Anyone any other suggestion?

Thanks,

arie
