The idea being to obviate the implicit Voice creation?  
But this is surely not the whole story; 
reformulating the variables with absolute pitches works too.   
  
So is it due to an initial \relative messing up the automagic dataflow? 
  
And does the following snippet indicate an additional aspect? 
The output makes it apparent why the (first) tie might be suppressed, 
but I would very much like to understand what is going on here.  
  
  
{
 \relative c' b1
 \partOne
 \partTwo
 b1
 \partOne
 \partTwo
}
  
  
Cheers,
