Oh, and you are using a lot of \stemUp/\stemDown commands. Those are
usually the wrong thing to use since they affect only one aspect of
multiple voice typesetting. For example, they won't affect the vertical
positioning of multi-measure rests, unlike \voiceOne / \voiceTwo /...
Also they don't provide adjustments in the case of notehead collisions.
