Greetings, everyone -

I need some help here. The voice structure is confusing to me. "pianoRH"
looks like it might work, although it looks weird to me. "pianoLH" looks,
to me, like it's missing some necessary structure; in particular, two
instances of "\new Voice".  I don't see why the changes Jeff speaks of
would allow the file to compile (or not), though. Any comments?
