First: I guess it would be a good idea to upgrade from 1.6.2 to 1.6.10

Second: I see that both in the alto Voice...

... and in the tenor Voice ...

... you use Threads with names threadOne and threadTwo. Maybe you should
rename them to be different, because I suspect now Lily is trying to twist
herself into impossible directions in order to squeeze musicTenTwo into
the same thread as musicAltTwo on the other staff.
