It seems that you can have an infinite number and looking at the 
implementation, I see that it actually will give you the equivalence of 
an infinite number of \voiceOne, \voiceTwo, \voiceThree, \voiceFour, ...
(even though only these first four are defined for manual use). What 
differs \voiceThree from \voiceOne is that in the case of collisions, 
the note heads are shifted in \voiceThree. In the 5th voice they will be 
shifted even further, and so on.
