Thanks for this tip, and also to Xavier for mentioning \partcombine. It simplified the code nicely. I modified the combined trombone score to show all four parts on one staff. The code looks much cleaner now. The only two non-default settings are an increase in the left margin, and a setting to make all systems use the full width of the page. Jim

% same thing, for a trombone choir:

\clef bass

\numericTimeSignature \time 4/4
}
tromA = \transpose c f, \hornA
tromB = \transpose c f, \hornC % swap the inner voices when
tromC = \transpose c f, \hornB % transposing for trombone
tromD = \transpose c f, \hornD
