Hi Ben,
Combining two parts is not a trivial task and, sometimes, automatic
\partcombine will not produce optimal results.
There are different cases when combining two parts in one stave:
*1. only one part plays, the other rests*
Write the active part only and mark it "Solo" or "Solo II" (these texts can
be changed)
*2. both parts have the same rhythm*
In this case, both parts may even be written as "chords", i.e. sharing the
same stem.
*3. polyphonic passages*
When both parts are rhythmically different, standard polyphonic notation
will be used (opposite stem directions).
*What has happened in your example?*
In measure 2, Flute 1 rests, and therefore, the e' is marked "Solo II", has
neutral stem direction and there is no rest symbol for Flute 1 (see above,
case 1).
Directly after that, Flute 1 kicks in again and \partcombine automatically
switches to polyphonic notation (case 3).
All in all, this is a rather unfortunate solution because of the missing
rest, it is very obscure where Flute 1 actually comes in and it is hard to
distinguish Flute 1 from Flute 2.
*Solution*
In cases like this, \partcombine can be directed by using \partcombineApart
(polyphonic notation as in case 3), \partcombineChords for case 2 and
\partcombineAutomatic to switch back to automatic behaviour.
All the best,
Torsten
