Michael,

I respect your right to disagree.
Yet,1, 2, 3 stem up, 2, 4, 6 stem down? Not, as they say, rocket science.

I disagree.

The problem is not so much in reading the manual and doing it right but in
remembering things after not having used them for some time.

Like many others I'm good at remembering things when I see the underlying
structure/pattern and the more convoluted such patterns are, the more likely
I am to misremember things.

Automatic voice numbering IMO clearly is one of these easily misremembered
things.

Therefor I almost never use it because I can't get it working as I expect it
without reading it up in the manual. However explicit voices I can use
correctly w/o having to read it up regularly.

In that very aspect I agree with David that the current implementation is
broken and should be fixed.

Of course that's just my opinion and I'm happy to continue using explicit
voices if the implicit version remains unchanged.

Kind regards,
Michael
