Re: GDP: first draft of NR 1.5 Simultaneous

[Mats Bengtsson]

A few comments:

- "Parallel notes" only talks about parallel notes within a single Voice 
context. Where in the NR
 would one find a general description of the use of <<...>> to put 
things in parallel?
 It's certainly described in the LM, but should be somewhere also in 
the NR for completeness.
 If it is, then the question is if the current "Parallel notes" gets 
redundant (it's just a special case).

- Similarly, in 1.5.2, shouldn't there be a description of the <<{...} 
\\ {...} >> construct? Also, the \voiceOne ... \voiceFour macros are 
just listed but not described.

- Do we have a bug report for the failing collision resolution in the 
second measure of the
 examples in "Collision resolution"?

- The description of the snippet "Additional voices to avoid collisions" 
could be clarified to say
 "If more than four parallel voices are needed, additional voices are 
added by ..."

- Typo in "Voice styles": "Lerning Manual" -> "Learning Manual"

- What's really the purpose of the predefined voice styles? I can 
understand that they are
 useful for some illustrations in the manual, and probably were 
introduced for that reason, but
 I don't really see that these arbitrarily defined styles have much 
interest for other users, except
 possibly as examples of how such styles can be defined by yourself.
 At least, it should be clarified that they are arbitrarily defined. 
Since there are four predefined
 styles, shouldn't the example show all four of them?

- Is it because of a limitation in the abilities of the \parallelMusic 
function that the example in
 "Writing music in parallel" doesn't include all the notes that J.S. 
Bach wrote in these measures?
 (Perhaps it's just to avoid making the example looking too complicated).
