OK, thanks for the clarification. I'm still relatively new at Lilypond 
so I'm still trying to sort out the terms it uses for various things and 
their correspondence to the notation, especially as I'm one of those 
jerks who skims a couple pages of the docs and then just Googles 
"lilypond harmonic" when I want to know how to do something and emails 
the list when that fails. :-)

In my defense, I *wasn't* confused by that part, just a bit sloppy with 
what I said. :-)  By "\motif voice" I really meant "the voice that plays 
the notes in \motif", but as you point out above and below, that's wrong 
for other reasons.

Thanks for the comments.
