Re: voiceOne and oneVoice

[Valentin Petzel]

Hi David,

I'd say singleVoice would even be clearer.
But I think maybe it would also be a good idea if we had a synax like \voice 
number. Currently Lilypond only supports four voices, and any more requires 
knowledge about the scheme interface, but \voice1 \voice2, ... could directly 
support an arbitrary amount of voices.

Cheers,
Valentin
