Re: partCombine Issues Warnings When Divisi Begins Within Tied Notes

Alas, this is a fundamental limitation of LilyPond: The part-combiner
uses different voices for single and combined parts, and currently
there is no way to have ties between voices.  I can imagine that the
part-combiner becomes more sophisticated to identify such situations
emitting a work-around; however, I don't know whether this is
possible.

Please file an issue in LilyPond's bug tracker at

so that it is not forgotten.
