Thanks. Does the \\ keep adding voices (effectively) indefinitely, or
is it limited to the four voices that are (as far as I can tell)
named? I ask because I'm coming from Finale, and have occasionally had
to use three voices in a stave, and the workaround I have found to
align lyrics to a dotted slur uses two voices for one musical line.
I'm worried about running out of voices!
