In the release the extra voice created by AddVoice is printing on a
separate staff, which is worse than useless, since it wastes the users
time trying something out that does not deliver. I am guessing (but I
don't remember) that I omitted AddVoice from denemoui.xml for that
reason. I would guess that the printing on separate staffs might be not
too difficult to fix - I think it worked at one time.
The other problem with voices has always been selecting them for
editing, without which users will get very annoyed at having put work in
on two voices and then finding themselves unable to make a correction to
one of them. I'm not sure how tricky this would be.
Without these fixes, I think I was right to leave AddVoice out.
