Frescobaldi allows to split the editor pane vertically, so you can work 
on multiple voices (each in a different variable) without having to 
scroll up and down. This is what I use to do on 2 voices guitar pieces 
(what I usually typeset).

No, I don't.
In general I use one line per measure; each measure ends with a 
barcheck.
If the measure is long, I let Frescobaldi wrap lines (View>Wrap lines).
If the measure contains tweaks or overrides, I nest them using two 
spaces. Even though using Frescobaldi format tool makes this nesting 
disappear; so you have to be careful (and use version control like 
git). See these two discussions:
