Thanks for the offer, but isn't this exactly the second example from
the bottom in LM 3.2.3 Voices and vocals ?

I can't tell if NR 1.5.2 Single-staff polyphony covers the issue
because I'm sick and not thinking.

I _really_ can't tell if NR 2.1 Vocals covers the issue at all,
because that section is a complete mess and in dire need of a complete
rewrite.  Frog: 20 hours.


If the problem is that the 2.13 docs have the fix but the 2.12 docs
don't, then the only solution is to get 2.14 out sooner because I'm
not making any more 2.12 releases, so it doesn't matter what people do
to the stable/2.12 branch.  The biggest holdup IMO is the translation
infrstructure for the new website, because nobody is working on it.
