Patch set 3 seems more useful to me than patch set 4.
With NullVoice accepted by Staff, I am able to use NullVoice \with { <dynamics
engravers> } to overcome another shortcoming of part-combined music, which is
that simultaneous dynamics in the two source voices are lost if the notes to
which they are attached are moved into the shared voice. My workaround fails
when the NullVoice is accepted by Score instead of Staff.
Also, the documentation should probably include \killCues on the notes within
NullVoice. Without it, there are warnings and extra notes in a score that has
cues. (Unless there’s something that could be done to NullVoice to make
\killCues unnecessary.)
I’m also trying to figure out if there is a simple way to add MIDI performance
to NullVoice. (If I am using NullVoices for lyrics and dynamics, it seems
natural to use them for MIDI output with one instrument per voice.) The
notation reference (2.18.2, pp. 484-5) suggests moving Staff_performer from
Staff context to Voice context to get one channel per voice. When I try that
will NullVoice, I don’t get any tracks in the output file. I do see tracks in
the output file if I redefine the performer-group NullVoice to be just an alias
of Voice and then use NullVoice \with { <midi performers> }. I could do that
on my own and call it something like InvisibleVoice; I mention it mainly for
the sake of raising question, Should there be a simpler pre-packaged way to do
this?
Thanks,
