Comment #3 on issue 2374 by address@hidden: Placement of dot depending on  
\stemDown or \voiceTwo

tbh - I didn't expect anything special, it just struck me when I saw the  
difference.

Janek, I can follow your argumentation (and I agree with it) - as a  
consequence, shouldn't the use of singular commands be discouraged in favor  
of more consequently using the predefined commands \voice… and \oneVoice!?

eg. in NR Chapter 1: Musical Notation

I find:

"Stems

…
Stems may be manually placed to point up or down; see Section 5.4.2  
[Direction and placement], page 544."


Here or in the referenced Section 5.4.2 a pointer to the \voice… command  
group should be added (maybe even with a warning that overriding single  
properties can lead to unexpected results)

I'll think about wording this.

shall we mark this issue as invalid?
