Hm.  Maybe ties should work at the staff level as fall-back.  Or even
just explicitly.  Wouldn't it be nice to be able to say ~~ and have the
tie work staff-level?  The current voice jigglery-pokery is not
particularly nice, and it gets worse when working with <<\\>> when you
have to start guessing the right \voiceOne and similar settings in order
to have the invisible notes sit on the same place as the visible ones.

An artificial voice with invisible notes is pretty solidly pointing to
missing functionality.
