That's three voices, not four.
Also - I was specifying vocal settings because a lot of the early discussion
centred about how it's difficult to use the << \\ >> syntax with vocal scores,
which generally are spoken about as being SATB and therefore there was an
expectation that << S \\ A \\ T \\ B >> would be the natural order, which it
isn't. I've never seen any score ever with the four vocal lines on one staff,
so whether that ordering works or not seems irrelevant.

Hi Phil,
Who uses four voices on one stave in vocal setting?
Why would this functionality be limited to vocal setting? Here is a
screenshot of a three-voice section in my Chaconne for unaccompanied violin:
There are many uses for multiple [musical] voices that don’t involve "vocal
setting”.
Cheers,
Kieren.
