Re: partcombine for three parts?

[Mats Bengtsson]

As has already been mentioned, the current implementation
of partcombine has several problems and limitations and
there are plans to rewrite it completely. Therefore, none
of the main hackers has any interest in tweaking the current
implementation any more, so unless you want to do the
modifications yourself I'm afraid you have to wait for the
new partcombine to appear some time in the future.

I hope you have tried to simply put the three lines of
music into the same Voice context.
