David, Since starting Lilypond I have become accustomed to the order presented in the manual (2.18.2) that states: Voice 1: highest Voice 2: lowest Voice 3: second highest Voice 4: second lowest Voice 5: third highest Voice 6: third lowest.
This arrangement is useful for my setting idiosyncratic piano (Chopin, Mendelssohn). Thank you for your kind attention.

This concerns << ... \\ ... \\ ... ... >> If we have more than one voice, voices are assigned in order: 1/2, 1/2/3, 1/2/3/4, 1/2/3/4/5, 1/2/3/4/5/6 ... while the documentation is quite explicit that, ordered from top to bottom, assignments should be more like 1/2, 3/1/2, 3/1/2/4, 5/3/1/2/4, 5/3/1/2/4/6 ... namely keeping the small voice numbers for the inner voices. Now I am sort of afraid that changing this is likely to end pretty disruptive to existing scores. Even though I don't know how many really use the original ordering unchanged as well as intentionally.
