The examples in the chapter speak by themselves, the simplest method is completely valid for complex polyphony. I could start explaining how to add a second voice (being the first the same as surrounding music), then expose the most commonly used construction as a short for this, even if it creates two voices. Complete Bach's pieces have been typeset using only a big <<{ } \\ { } \\ { }>> without problems. Tips for vocal music have their own chapter. What do you think? -- Francisco Vila.
