Re: Multi Voice Rests - Not Showing

[Stephen Sheasby]

Phil,

Thanks for your response. That did solve most of the problem but now I am 
getting an accidental on the “c” even though I have the accidental engraving 
turned off. However, I do not get the accidental with just the single part. I 
have revised my markup to demonstrate and have it listed here:

\version "2.18.2-1"  % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.
\language "english"

\relative c' {
        \numericTimeSignature
        \key e \major % -- Change Key as needed.
        \time 4/4
        \stemDown
        \override Voice.Accidental.stencil = ##f
        \override Voice.AccidentalCautionary.stencil = ##f
        << { e2 r2 | } \\ { <a, c>2 r4 <a c>4 } >> |
        <a c>2 r4 <a c>4 |
}

What I don’t understand is why \partcombine does not work? Am reading and 
trying to get a handle on this.
