Automatic part combining is used to merge two separate parts of music

In professional scores, voices are often kept apart from each other for
long passages of music even if some of the notes are the same in both
voices, and could just as easily be printed as unison. Combining notes
into a chord, or showing one voice as solo is, therefore, not ideal as
the @code{\partcombine} function considers each note separately. In this
-case the @code{\partcombine} function can be overriden with the
-following commands:

-Commands ending in @code{@dots{}Once} apply only to the next note in the

+case the @code{\partcombine} function can be overridden with one of the

+@code{\once} in order to have them only apply to the next note in
+the music expression.
