To my considerable delight, this solved a problem I was having with a 
choral work I'd imported from midi. It consists of a solo line with 
parts, S/A staff, T/B staff and 3 (!) piano lines. The problem was that 
the vocal lines came over in chord form: < d' g' > 2 which is awkward 
when the two voices have different rhythms. The explicit instantiation 
of \voiceTwo makes it easy.

Many thanks, Kieren!
