I have just spent half a day trying to work out why one staff in my orchestral score extends beyond the final barline.
Eventually I found out that it is because \partCombine seems only partially to understand tags. The following example illustrates this: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.21.2" instA = { b'4 \tag #'versionI c'' \tag #'versionII d'' b'2 } instB = { g'4 g' g'2 } \score { \keepWithTag #'(versionI) \partCombine \instA \instB } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% PartCombine chooses the notes for the instA line in accordance with the tags, but adds a crotchet's worth of staff after the end of the passage. It also does not correctly combine the parts after the tagged section. However, this can be got around by adding a \partCombineChords instruction before the 3rd beat of the bar. Does anyone know of a way of correcting the extended staff? David
