OOC, why doesn't << {...} \\ {...} >> do that anyway? Under what
circumstances would you want the upper part to be a different voice from
the one-voice part? And is it possible to override \\ to make it behave

(Yes, I know you could use a music function instead and thus change it
everywhere by just changing the function definition.)
