Field name header tune elsewhere Used by Examples and notes

$ V:voice yes V:2, V:Soprano
There is no need to have a V: field in the header: it is just a voice
switch and not a voice definition.

False: look at 'voices.abc' (abc2ps-1.3.0): you will see an implicit
voice and then the 'V:acc_1' and 'V:acc_2' switches.

These parameters deal with staff printing. They are at a wrong place;
for example, a same voice may be the main song and also some accompa-
niement. Only a staff field may say which name is to be printed on the
score.

May be a compatibility clause could be inserted, but, this is not useful
as only the <label> needs to be parsed.
