Recently, I found out that 合わせる can go with many particles.

Jisho gives here
(<https://jisho.org/search/%E5%90%88%E3%82%8F%E3%81%9B%E3%82%8B>) some
examples on this:

  1. あなたの計画{けいかく} **を** 私{わたし} **に** 合わせなさい。Your plan must fit in with  
mine.

  2. 君の答{こた}え **を** 彼{かれ}の答{こた}え **と** 合わせてみなさい。Check your answers with his.

And on NHK easy Japanese news:

  3. 薬を売る店の中には、マスク **を** 栄養{えいよう}がある飲物など **と** 合わせて高く売っている店がありました。

And on my smartphone app, as an example:

  4. 彼女は花 **に** ピント **と** 合わせようとした。

So, と and に are used to match 私 respectively 答え or 飲物 with the object of 合わせる.
But in example 4, absolutely no を-particle is used

So my question: are を-, と- and に-Particles here interchangeable? Or does their
use depend on properties of the object e.g. like animate vs inanimate (私 vs.
答え) and maybe others, too? Thanks a lot!

question
word-choice nuances particle-に particle-と particle-を
を-, と- and に-particle usage with 合わせる
A **を** B **と** 合わせる basically means putting A and B together. B is something
similar to A.

>   * ケチャップをマヨネーズと合わせる: two sauces are mixed
>   * マスクをドリンクと合わせて売る: two items are treated as a set
>   * あなたの計画を私(の計画)と合わせる: two plans are merged, forming a bigger plan
>   * 君の答えを彼の答えと合わせなさい: two answers are placed together and compared (the
> speaker wants you to check his answer and see the difference)
>

A **を** B **に** 合わせる means to make A align with B, to make A the same as B, to
coordinate A with B, etc. B is something like an answer, a reference, a
standard. A will be modified or adjusted.

>   * あなたの計画を私(の計画)に合わせる: "your plan" is modified to align with "my plan"
>   * ピントを花に合わせる: the focus is adjusted with the flower as the reference
>   * 君の答えを彼の答えに合わせなさい: the speaker wants you to change your answer
>

* * *

AにBと合わせる (or AとBに合わせる) is ungrammatical. Your example 4 on Tatoeba is simply
wrong.
