Re: Stem Combining

[James E. Bailey]

What were you looking for in terms of combining? Typically, I found  
partcombine best when the parts are occasionally the same, but it can  
be adapted to normal multiple voice music, I guess. In the image that  
I see, the lower voice has stems down, the upper voice has stems up  
and the "lyrics" are attached to the voice? Did you want the stems  
pointing in the same direction? Just make the stem directions the same  
then. Lilypond will complain about overlapping note columns, though…
 Perhaps a better example would be

voiceone = \context Voice = "voice one" \relative { c'4 b a g f e f2 c1}
voicetwo = \relative {c'4 b a g f e \stemDown d_( b) \stemNeutral c1}
