Re: does partcombine need notes to be close together?

[Mats Bengtsson]

It is common typesetting practice to use different stem directions for
different voices, to clarify which note belongs to which voice.

However, if you want the two lines of music to be typeset as a
single voice with chords, then you could just put them into the
same Voice context:

upper = \relative c''{e4 f g e c1}
lower = \relative c'{c4 d e d c1}

\score{
 \new Voice <<\upper \lower>>
}
