No.  A symbol already has meaning.

You could try separate commands \voicifyUp and \voicifyDown .  I am not
sure whether or not \voicify should not be \voices or \voicing or
\voicings instead, possibly making for nicer compounds like that.

I mean, something like

\voices 1,3,4 ...

possibly stresses the connection with \voiceOne, \voiceThree, \voiceFour
better.  And then \voicesUp and \voicesDown ?  Somehow a bit too close
to \stemUp / \stemDown meaning something entirely different.
Upwards/Downwards ?  Rising/Falling ?
