You're right, but it still seems unsatisfactory. In fact the merge _is_ completed when it shouldn't be. And the warning doesn't draw attention to the incorrect merge; it says "ignoring too many clashing note columns",
something different entirely.

Hmm. That would be a warning-nitpick then? Can you help me writing the
report? :)

It's not that simple. Playing with the example in the Learning Manual at
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/learning/real-music-example.html#real-music-example
shows that a warning is _not_ always given. The warning depends just on which voices the notes are in, not on anything to do with merging. If
the three notes are in three separate voices, as they are in the LM,
no warning appears.

So I think this needs a doc change rather than a bug report. I'll do that.
