Hi David,

I’d have to look more closely, but my intuition is “yes”.

I would think so.

My very next engraving project is the one which inspired many of these threads 
— and subsequent feature requests and codebase improvements — in 2012 (e.g., 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-12/msg00425.html), and 
even before.

If you can wait, I’m going to use that project — a small choral work with lots 
of shared and divisi parts — as a test of the existing functionality, an 
inspiration for some new code and/or feature requests, and ultimately a very 
detailed tutorial on the subject.

Best,
Kieren.
