No, it's actually the other way round:
Imagine a score where oboe 1 sets in with a whole note and oboe 2 has a
quarter rest and then sets in.
At the second quarter (when oboe 2 sets in), the part combiner no longer has
the information that oboe 1 is playing (since it only looks at onsets, but not
durations of notes), so it will only observe oboe 2 and mark it as solo...
Durations of notes are never changed, the part-combiner might just take the
wrong decision (one of these five: solo 1, solo 2, unison, displayed as chords
or apart).
Cheers,
Reinhold
