Yes, very much thanks.

I had intended to use the automatic voicing, but somehow got the syntax
wrong.
Nor did I realize that for voices 3 and 4, you use \voiceOne and \voiceTwo.

That explains why I had to add lots of \stemUp and \stemDown commands.
I was expecting everything to just work, and was bummed that I had to deal
with lots of cases manually.
