This could be explained in Vocal Music, but I think that in NR1.5
Simultaneous the more general the better.

Do not forget my questions about what voice numbers get these new voices.

The examples in the chapter speak by themselves, the simplest method
is completely valid for complex polyphony.
I could start explaining how to add a second voice (being the first
the same as surrounding music), then expose the most commonly used
construction as a short for this, even if it creates two voices.
Complete Bach's pieces have been typeset using only a big <<{ } \\ {
} \\ { }>> without problems. Tips for vocal music have their own
chapter. What do you think?
