Hmm. I've had a look through the files concerned and multiple \score
blocks seem to be the culprit. However, the partcombiner seems to be
able to produce something similar. Consider this file:

\version "2.10.10"

\score{
  \context Staff <<
      \time 4/4
       \partcombine 
       \relative c'' {
         a4 c4.(g8) a4 |
         g4 e' g(f) | 
         b, a c2
        }
       \relative c'' {
         g4 e4.(d8) c4 |
         g'4 c, e(f) |
         d2 a
       }
   >>

This produces 3 consecutive 'Interpreting music...' lines.

Is this a problem, or is it just the partcombiner getting up to its
old tricks again?
