Currently "Learning Manual 3.2.2 Explicitly instantiating voices" reads:
Voice contexts can also be created manually inside a << >> block to
create polyphonic music, using \voiceOne … \voiceFour to indicate the
required directions of stems, slurs, etc.
I think this could be (mis)interpreted as: a \voiceOne _creates_ a
Voice-context with direction settings for stems. slurs. etc.
Maybe some rewording would be nice.
This was my misinterpretation.
And previous questions to this list about the "right" way to do stuff have resulted in answers that approximate "any way that gets you to the result you want. All approaches are good." But I will attempt, once again, a more careful read. (I did go through a good portion of the Learning Manual, but I'm missing enough prerequisites that I don't always understand what I'm reading there.)
