That's two completely different meanings of the phrase "works with". The NR
uses it in the meaning that it "functions correctly" only with two voices,
while the snippet uses it in the sense that it "internally uses" three voices.

-----------------

I guess it's the 'apparently works with'... syntax that I find misleading. That 
implies that it either shouldn't work with 3 voices but 'apparently' does, or 
that no one really knows how many voices but 'apparently' it works with 3.

Anyway, as long as the NR is ok (I have uploaded my mods for that just now) and 
unless we get someone  complaining about the 'apparent' difference ;) then 
that's fine.

Thanks Reinhold.
