Or, if we're going for ideas, we could note that we could just omit the stuff after the V: to say that it should be added to the second voice. This would produce: A2 E2 G2 A2 |A B c d e f g a [V:] A A A A A A A A [V:] A G F E D C B, A,|] This is syntactically identical to the & usage, of course. Or my earlier example could become: [V:1] A2 E2 G2 A2 | A B c d e f g a | g2 f2 e2 a2 |] [V:] | A A A A A A A A | [V:] | A G F E D C B, A,| This is obviously wordier, but easier to sight read.
