Tim,
They actually aren't equivalent, but that becomes most apparent when
associating lyrics to the voices. When using the "\\" syntax to designate
voices, this implicitly creates totally new voices wherever used, even though
it puts them correctly in the voiceOne/voiceTwo directions, which may (always?)
break the connection to the lyrics.
My recommendation: Follow the first method you mention because you will have
complete, explicit control over the voicing.
HTH,
Abraham
