Re: combining parts

[James E. Bailey]

Yeah, I got as far as:
ErsteStimme = { r2 c''4 d'' g'8 g' g'4 fis' g'4}
ZweiteStimme = { g'4 a' r2 e'8 e' d'2 c'4 }
DritteStimme = { r2 fis''4 g'' g'8 g' g'4 fis' g'4 }
VierteStimme = {c'4 c' r2 e'8 e' d'2 c'4  }
\score {
        \new Staff << \set Staff.printPartCombineTexts = ##f
		\new Voice \with {\remove Rest_engraver}<<\voiceOne \partcombine  
\ErsteStimme \DritteStimme>>
		\new Voice \with {\remove Rest_engraver}<<\voiceTwo \partcombine  
\ZweiteStimme \VierteStimme>>
        >>
}
and then I just gave up. Maybe in a year or two I'll try it again.
