Hi,

Voices in a << { ... } \\ { ... } >> structure are both different than
voices outside that structure.

You should either name you main, outside Voice "1" (because in the
<< { ... } \\ { ... } >> structure first Voice is called "1",
second "2" and so on...).
Either use explicit instantiated Voices, like this :

  <<
    { \voiceOne g2 ~ g8 }
    \new Voice = "blabla" { \voiceTwo s8 e8[ dis d] cis }
  >> \oneVoice

The first { ... } that appears in a << ... >> with instanciated Voices
(i.e. without "\\") is considered as the continuation as the main
Voice outside the << ... >> structure.

Hope it is clear,
Xavier
