Hi Kira,

I realize this is a pretty basic question... but what is the
difference between voiceOne and oneVoice? I am writing a multivoice
keyboard-style hymn (as opposed to SATB chorale style) and the
directions say to switch between oneVoice and voiceOne as needed for
stem direction...
"(d) Add voiceOne and oneVoice tags throughout to indicate stem
direction. If
there is no separately stemmed second part at the first note, oneVoice
is assumed."
Do I need to give an example?
\voiceOne sets the layout for the current voice as if it is the first of
several simultaneous voices.
\oneVoice sets the layout for the current voice as if it is an only voice.
If you do in-staff polyphony via
<<
{ \upperMusic } \\ { \lowerMusic }
>>
then the \\ makes LilyPond silently add a \voiceOne to \upperMusic and a
\voiceTwo to \lowerMusic, making sure that \upperMusic has upward stems,
articulations etc., and \lowerMusic has everything downwards.
Sometimes it is useful to switch back to "normal" one-voice layout even
in a polyphonic enivoronment; that can be done using \oneVoice.
A typical application is
\once\oneVoice r8
for a single rest that should be centered mid-staff (often, the other
voice then has a simultaneous skip: s8). But this construction is not
needed that often anymore because now there is the Merge_rests_engraver
that is able to collect simultaneous rests in polyphonic situations and
merge them to a single ("\oneVoice", so to speak) rest.
As a rule, in writing polyphonic music, it's often useful to use
\voiceOne, \voiceTwo etc. and \oneVoice, and there a comparatively few
good situations to use an explicit \stemUp or \stemDown.
Is this clear enough without compilable examples?
