Experiencing complete failure with voices.
 
Is there comprehensive documentation on how to use voices?
 
At the moment I am thinking I need multiple voices per staff because ordinary chords do not allow notes with different durations on the same (shared) staff, aligned vertically (where, in spite of the different duration they all START simultaneously). Example:
 
 
I added a staff with a designated new voice... I can't even get past the rendering error -- "Typeset" leads to "Check Score. Cursor may have been moved..." when I populate the extra voice with any notes
 
I apparently don't know the basics of voices
 
So my questions are:
 
1. How do I make voices work? 
2. How do I make the notes of different voices vertically align perfectly ?
3. (#2 with different durations vertically aligned in spite of that difference)
4. (I am assuming I can figure out stem direction on my own, although it would be nice if there is a smart algorithm that automatically assigns stem direction, as shown in the embedded image here)
