Re: sunday school songs

Hi,
I had a bit of a fiddle and came up with the following which produces 
pretty much what you want, but I'm not really happy with it.

It uses chords instead of \partcombine which would make note entry a lot 
easier.
If someone knows how to tweak the operation of \partcombine so that some 
notes could separate with different "flags" (where you have indicated) 
that would make it a lot easier to do I think.

Hope this helps... P.S. I did this using 2.11.32 which is the version 
I'm using at the moment.

BTW, do you have an example of the natural sign problem that you were 
having?

Cheers,
Ralph
