It's not clear whether multiple voices is really necessary. Can't you
just
do (using the new syntax):
00:01.000 --> 00:02.000
<v Bob> Speaker 1
00:03.000 --> 00:04.000
<v Jim> Speaker 2
00:05.000 --> 00:06.000
<v Bob and Jim> Speaker 1+2
...where "Bob and Jim" is a third name?
Sure, one could, but the new syntax/parsing also allows <v Bob><v Jim>
Speaker 1+2, which is what I requested.
Using this syntax, I would expect some confusion when you omit the
closing </v>, when it's *not* a cue spoken by two voices at the same
time, such as:
<v Jim>- Boo!
<v Bob>- Gah!
Gah! is spoken by both Jim and Bob, but that was likely not intended. If
this causes confusion, we should make validators warn about multiple
voices with with no closing </v>.
Or we can say that nesting cues is not important enough to be supported,
and make <v> imply </v>?
