Huh.

    Issue 3489: Let \cue... use quoted-context-type of CueVoice consistently
    
    Previously Voice was used and this relied on a a CueVoice purportedly
    being created by cue-substitute itself and providing a Voice alias.
    There is a regtest input/regression/quote-tuplet-end.ly which relied
    on an explicit Voice = "cue" serving as a substite catch for the cue
    notes, effectively turning \cueDuring into \quoteDuring.  This kind of
    usage is rather bizarre, and since it diverts the \voiceOne/\voiceTwo
    settings for the cue voice into a CueVoice context anyway (which is
    otherwise empty), the cue voice is still missing proper directional
    information.  This was not worth supporting.
    
    Regularizing the usage in this manner will reliably stop \quoteDuring
    from introducing surprise CueVoice contexts.

The LSR snippet looks suspiciously like the code described in the commit
message as "bizarre".  In fact, staring at the snippet gives me a
headache.  I have a real problem figuring out what it is trying to do in
the first place.  I'll probably have to look at the output and determine
what is supposed to happen backwards from there, and I would not be
surprised if it worked mainly by accident.  The code looks like it has
been poked with a stick until it happened to produce the current output.
