That makes me doubt your memory.

That is no problem as long as you don't promote rather opaque code to
others without good reason.

There is little point for me to test identical music expressions for
identical results.  I have to admit _one_ difference: I've drawn
\oneVoice into a more logical place.  You can move it back to the end of
the function if you want to but I don't see that making a difference in
the typeset results.

Other than that, the function will produce exactly the same music
expression after this change, just written in a different manner.
