Interesting. Does \voiceXXX take a music expression too? If so, can I set the bounds of the expression with {}? > I don't see that you have a "wrong" tie direction.

I've found a general need to add \xxxNeutral after using \voices to get stems, ties, tuplets, etc to line up "correctly" (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/learning/within_002dstaff-objects). It's not clear to me what the bounds of \voiceXXX are. If expression boundaries impact the state of the parser, it seems Lily is adding a burden to the user by forcing the user to manage expression boundaries without a consistent way to define the boundaries. At least, that's the objection that's inside my noob head, anyway. Also, trying to fix the tie problem sent me through the path of adding all sorts of things to the music that made reading it more difficult. I looked at the grammar at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/lilypond-grammar. Where is \voiceXXX defined?
